Got rid of the cheap Spectra Cold air intake and for $30 went back stock (it was rigged
up crappy). Runs better.

So today I installed my 50mm Fastman TB. Installation went smoothly. All I can say is wow. Huge gains in throttle response and take off. Feels like an anchor has been lifted fron my truck. The TB itself looks very nice and very well machined. It's nice to know that some people still care about quality with their work. This should have been factory!

What a difference though.. Highly recommended!!

Is that with all the old sensors? Or did the TB come with new ones?

That's with the old sensors. I should have put new ones in though.

^ Having such a vast performance increase on just a 50mm throttle body and using the old sensors is more informative than using the new sensors....

He is spoken very highly of among a lot of members here and on other dodge forums. After doing some research I was pretty confident I wanted one and that it was worth it. Now I wish I would have done it a year ago. Really woke up my truck.

If you are interested in one, I would email him first. Going by your mods, you may need a 53mm.

Went out to the garage, and looked at it sadly for a bit...... Hopefully tomorrow I can tear into it, and see whats up. Worst case, stick the used motor I have on the stand in there. Hope for the best.

It has a bad case of the RLS's, (runs like s....) and no oil pressure.....

removed the longtubes, and installed the stock manifolds, and a jegs y-pipe. saving up for a flowmaster stainless catback. i will probably ditch the muffler that comes with it for a magnaflow, but it will be nice to have a complete exhaust system again!
