Default hughes 50mm throttle body

just bought one from mancinis and installed it, very easy to do and a noticable gain plus its a beautiful part. funny thing, they have the throttle body wrapped in what looks to be a crown royal bag with a small gold string i found that amusing. maybe thats what my $450 is paying for

450.00, wow you got ripped of. www.thefastman.com sells the same reworked tb for 180.00.purchased my 70 mm for my 4.7 from him. they are a great investment, but you should have searched some more.

i did research, i didnt want some douche with a dremel porting a stock tb for $315includingan $80 core charge he has no dyno info, and what about the quality? i know i paid alot but ive gone cheap before and had regrets. its only money and if i didnt spend it on my dodge it would have gone to beer or some ****

"Special pricing through August 15
$250 $225 + $80 Core + $10 U.S. shipping"

I like the TB. I don't think you got ripped off at all. I buy 90% of all my engine parts from Hughes. They back all of their products up and their tech support is awesome. I would get that Edelbrock FI Airgap intake from Hughes if I were you.
M1 = [sm=badidea.gif]
Edelbrock FI intake = [sm=goodidea.gif][sm=burnout.gif]
