Default Fastman TB?

I know that this has been discussed many times but I haven't paid much attention to it. I have noticed many of you have intalled a fastman tb on your trucks. I am planning to get one around the first of december. My question is was it worth the price and how much improvement did it show? I plan to go with the 52mm cause I don't tow much. But I was wondering with my mods on my truck...is the tb gonna help or hurt?
I have dual 40s flowmasters and a K&N FIPK CAI. I plan to also have 4.10 gears intalled along with a locker in a couple of weeks.
Am I going to notice much inprovement with the Fastman? Is it hard to intall? How fast is the shipping, or how long did it take to recieve the tb? Thanks -Tyler

Took 5days for mine to arrive after ordering. I'm in Canada so it has to cross the border and go threw customs. Takes 1/2hr to install. Just pull the tps, iac and linkage off your stock tb and swap it to the Fastman. Dan supplies and new "S"bolt and gasket.

I noticed a small increase in throttle response & performance when I installed it. You dont mention what motor you have. Your better off with the 50mm if you have the 5.2/318

I have the 5.9l. He recommends the 52mm for that one. How much power increase did you notice?

I have a 52mm Fastman on a 360, throttle response improved and mpg jumped until my right foot caught on...

KRC has a dyno page with a TB run on it. have a look...

I noticed a huge difference with the Fastman 52 mm on my 5.9, smoother shift, throttle response, top/bottom end, just an all around improvement. And like Steve00Ram said, mileage will suffer when you find out how much your foot likes it.
