Default No Throttle Response....

Ever since i changed out my AC delco stockers for some TR6's gapped at .040, i lost my throttle response from idle. Say if the car is just idling, and i tap the gas for a quick rev...instead all i get is a bobble and a gasp...then struggle back to idle. If i were to keep tapping the throttle slightly she will eventually stall out. Now out on the road driving, i'll punch it and it will hesitate for a fraction of a sec but then take right off. Cruisin on the highway is just fine. So i went back to my AC's gapped at .050 and still no response. I checked for vacuum leaks and i couldn't find any. I have MSD 8.5 wires but they are getting a little old. I even tryed gapping the TR6's at .050 with still no luck. So do you think i just need new plugs all together and if so what gap? or is it something diff all together? I have about 10.8:1. let me know, thanks.

if that doesnt work the TPS will sometimes cause a loss of throttle response. if you have tuner cat or lt1 edit you can fix the problem with a tune.
