fastman throttle bodies

[brantd00]

Anyone use one of these throttle bodies? What kinda gains did you get? Was it worth the $250.00? I am looking for tourque

[bigredtank]

I noticed quite a bit of power increase.. I did a Cool air intake at the same time and deffinitly have power gains.. And $250 for one of his TB's (which he sends you one and you send your core in) is alot better than buying a new one at $400 +

I got the deal too :cool: . Installing it as soon as I get my turtle. No sense pulling the ramair n tb off twice this month ;)

From what I understand the "Fastman" is a very good brand. I've seen nothing but good reviews on it and hopefully I don't offend anyone with this post. Unfortunately, I'm cheap and I purchased the "Sick" throttle body on E-bay. I got the 52 mm TB, which is recommended for modified engines. I have a 5.2L Ram with Headers, CAI, Flowmaster, and relocated IAT sensor. The TB is about 205 bucks shipped and you get 50 bucks back if you send in your core. The positive things I like about the Sick TB is that the nub for the air hat all thread screw is shaved off and polished, and the TB did add a few ponies throughout the power band. The truck "jumps" now. The negative things are that the bolts that came with it were about 1/2" too long, and it was a little slow in being produced and shipped. The longer bolts were to compensate for a TB spacer, if one was installed. Overall I'm real happy with the performance and I think a ported and polished TB is a very good bolt on modification that is worth the money.

Thanks for all the feed back guys, this site is great, I am going to order it next week I will let you know how it works. I am going to try to get my truck dinoed with it and see what happens, it will be the first mod on the truck.

You wont be dissappointed.

will the fastman 52mm fit ok with my TB spacer installed or should i just take the TB spacer off?

[KellerSS/T]

It will fit, but the TB spacers do not add any horsepower on our trucks at all. I would just remove it before installing the fastman. I do like the sound the TB spacers make though. Unfortunately sound doesn't equal horsepower.

[RAM MAN]

take the spacer off

All that I can say is that the customer service was excellent throught the FastMan. I called the number because i noticed the area code is near me. I made an appointment for the next day, which was a Sunday, and he put it on. He installed the 52mm Tb and answered some of me questiones that I had, and I was out of there in about 30 min. He is a very nice person, pleasent and patient, and had no problem showing me his operaton. It was an amazing experiance. I would recomend this bolt on to anybody. I felt an immediate difference. Thank You Fastman. Jake

I just got my 53MM TB from him. I pulled my TB spacer off too. I was able to get my money back from it by selling it on ebay. I lost 10 bucks on it. Dan has great service. My TB did get lost in the mail due to an address error on the box. Dan fixed the problem right away. Im happy with its performace.

[Dodge3]

which one is the best for low end the 50 mm or the 52

[bigredtank]

depends on which engine size you have.

i would say 50mm for a 5.2 and 52 for a 5.9. anything else would be to much unless you are using boost.

[Dodge3]

oh thanks i have the 5.2

[Tyeddy]

Are there any MPG advantages using a new TB? I have a 360 w/ Super tuner III, headers, K&N FIPK and flow master.

[bigredtank]

I havent notice any mpg gains for any of my mods. It does open up the intake alot and i really did notice a difference
