I thought of this but that was as far as I went with it. The thought was to increase the dual piping going to the the two throttle bodies to be slightly larger than the stock throttle body size. This would help in initial tip in with increase air available but would slightly slow down intake air velocity at wide open throttle. It is a compromise. I think this setup may be best with a larger Maf sensor. Perhaps the throttle bodies themselves would be the point of discussion after this point though (larger throttle bodies). Even still, a larger throttle body in and of itself will improve throttle response. That's for another discussion though. (Just for giggles, I am looking into this now. Haven't read anything around it here yet but I'll keep searching).
