Question Quicker Throttle Response

I have a 99 F-150 4.6. I have approx. 122,000 miles on the truck and it is still running strong! But, I am looking for a way to increase throtle response. Can anyone help?

I already have:
K&N Cold air intake
Flowmaster Exaust
and recently replaced plugs

What plugs did you put in? A tip was passed onto me from a "4.2 guru" to use copper plugs over platinum.Trust me,it works! My throttle response was alot better after the install!

Thanks for the info. I did use the double platinum plugs but maybe I will give the ole copper a shot. Man those things are a pain to change.
