Is this with the stock throttle body?

OK...I know I've posted a gazillion posts today :-) but here's one
more.

After installing the autolite plugs (3923s), (and removing my Bosch
Platinum
+4s), I decided to see how the S/T sounded. There was definitely a
+change in
response and sound, but also I found that at idle....in neutral...if I
stomp on the gas real quick...there is a noticable delay before the
engine revs. I think my Dak has always done this, but with the new plugs
it seems more noticable.

here's what happens (remember this all occurs within a second or two)I
stomp on the gas pedal...i hear a slight popping/sucking sound from the
K&N...tiny delay...then Vroom! Assuming the popping is associated with
the TB opening up wide, is there typically a delay before the engine
actually revs up? I guess I was expecting(wishing)for an immediate
foot/throttle/rev action with no delay?

Just curious, thought maybe there was a way to adjust this so the delay
is not as noticable.

Thanks again
