Throttle body anyone?

I'm interested to know if anyone has installed a larger throttle body, header, Digital MSD box, or other serious performance enhancers on a JCW car, and their results.

Items installed

As you can see in my signature I've installed a few things on my JCW. The best ones?
Alta CAI
M7 2% Crankshaft pulley
Wilwood brakes

But I list these three because I haven't received my DFIC from M7 - which will probably take the top of the list by next weekend. I can't wait!

What about throttle response flat spot at ~3,000 to 4,000 rpms?

There were a bunch of posts a while back about flat spots being encountered around 3,000 to 4,000 rpms with larger throttle bodies. If memory serves, the larger throttle bodies caused more noticable flat spots. Have the flat spots been cured?
