the ATI damper helps.
I don't think ATI damper's any lighter than OEM damper. how does it improve throttle response?

For rotating objects it's not necessarily weight but MOI that's the factor. With that said... I didn't feel the ATI was worth it. Went with a brand new OEM unit. Argument being Honda designed the damper specifically for the NSX resonance frequency. I hear lots of good things about the ATI though. Pretty much the standard for aftermarket dampers.I don't think ATI damper's any lighter than OEM damper. how does it improve throttle response?

yes.it is lighter, that's how. i held both in my hands. i actually have it on my car. do people just want to argue for the sake of arguing?![]()

it would be good to know actual weight difference in grams
What can be done to improve the NSX's throttle response?
I've just stepped back into an NSX after a short stint in a Boxster S.
I respectfully suggest that perhaps you are talking about torque/power and not throttle response unless there was something wrong with your early car. In strickly technical terms, throttle response is the time it takes for the car to move when the throttle is moved. Not the rate of acceleration, but the split second lag time before the power hits. The drive by wire and the single clutch are both known to slow this time a bit. Thats why the go back to old comment. If you think the old car lacks "something", it's likely you simply want more power at a lower rpm. I stand by the razer sharp throttle response comments of the early cars.
As a side note, exhaust systems most often dull the OE throttle response somewhat. Not enough to avoid them, but a particular header exhaust combo could introduce a pretty noticable degredation of TR.
