Default 53 mm throttle body

Do these things work or am I better off just getting a fastman?

well for one your not gonna have your moter past 5500 rpm like they say lol unless you do some serieous mods, what do you have 5.2(318) or 5.9(360)

second for 5.2 a 50mm is recomended for a 5.9 a 52mm you can use a 53mm on a 5.9 but its more recomended for a more high preformance application

i dont have an aftermarked throttle body (yet) but when i do get one ittl be a fastman from what i have read they are the best and its only $6 more than the ebay one your looking is for a 52 mm

I cant get ebay here at work but if it is the one I think it is.....run away its crap my neighbor bought one and the bore is inconsistant the work was rough and not smothed and rounded. The one I am talking about is an exchange auction and the guy wants to know which throtle cable adapter you need.

I bought one, it works great. I had a new custom built performance longblock 360 installed last year with headers, and when I installed the 53mm throttle body, that really woke up the engine. Then I found out about the round 14x3 air filters here on this website. That helped it too! I bought one on Ebay that had an offset base. Then last week I bought and installed the Mopar PCM and now I got a tire smokin hot rod.
