The throttle response itself cannot be changed unless you go for a larger t/b. The free play in the pedal is the only thing that can be adjusted by adjusting the throttle cable. I believe (and haven't checked this on my car yet) that you can adjust the slack in the throttle cable at the throttle body.

If memory serves me correctly, there should be an adjustment 'nut' where the cable itself comes out of the black plastic tubing it slides through. See if you can tighten it a bit. Do not make it too tight however otherwise you'll have the valve open a little all the time, idle will increase, as will engine temps when you're standing still and the fuel usage will climb a bit too. But by all means, take the slack out of the cable.

If the adjuster isn't there, I'll find out how (if) it can be adjusted and do a how-to.
