Default Improved throttle response?

I keep hearing about "improved throttle response" with the fastman TB. I have a stock TB and when I push on the gas the engine immediately responds. So, what is improved throttle response?

The Fastman's throttle body is machined to dramatically improve airflow into the engine. He machines away all excess casting that impedes airflow, enlarges and smoothes the throttle body barrels, and replaces the butterflies and butteryfly control with stronger and more aerodynamic parts that he machines himself.

When I say that, I mean it is less sluggish when you get on the gas. I thought there was nothing wrong with my throttle response before I got the Fastman, but after I installed it, it felt like it just had quicker and more powerful get-up-and-go.

Thats the first thing my buddy said when we took it for a testdrive. he said that it has a seamless integration of power, like your not jerked arround anymore.

Use to be that when I wanted to pass a slow moving vehicle on a 2 lane highway I had to plan ahead as it took time to build up the additional speed needed to pass. After I installed my Fastman it made a HUGH difference.Gets up very quickly now to passing speed.
