So if a person buys the fastman TB, do you need to buy anything else?????

 

No unless you want to change the airhat for better breathing.

 

I already have the K&N intake system on my truck, just looking for ways to improve HP and maybe get better gas MPG, am also looking at the superchip programmer and looking into better exhust system. My truck is a 2000 Ram 1500 with the 5.2

 

No the fastman comes with everything except for what your old TB has attached to it. (linkage support, sensors).

It is nice and clean. The un-trained eye may not even notice it isn't a stock TB. from the sides it looks like the stock

I still have my stock, and I bought new sensors for the TB, so I am going to run my stock and then put the Fastman in after. I am going to try a spacer too but it will be sold (anyone want it?) because my round air filter won't fit with it. While I doubt it will do anything for my truck, but it does wonders for a chevy small block with TBI. So two+ years ago when I bought my RAM it was one of my first purchases. I just want to see.

 

i am gonna purchase the 53 mm tb i saw it for aroung 30 bucks less than the fastman 50 mm

 

Thegurusdont suggest you go that large with a 5.2

 

greenmachine, with a relatively stock 5.9 (headers, exhaust, and reflash to come) would you to the 50 or the 52 fastman? I'm a little confused on which one to do.......I do a little towing (about 3000 lb. trailer and toys from time to time).

Oh, and thanks for your service.

 

get the 52 mm.

 

Thanks, but may I ask why so that I understand................as stated, I'm a little confused.

 

A 50mm is for a slightly smaller block, i.e. the 318 (or 5.2L), or for lots of towing applications where you want to keep the power in the lower end. The 52mm is good for the slighty larger 360 (5.9L) to give a better upper end on the larger engine. The 53mm is for applications like a 408 stroker or a boosted application.

If you go bigger than you should, you'll probably run a little lean on your air/fuel ratio in the lower end and it won't catch up until you get higher in the RPM's. Which means you're losing low end, which is where you drive most of the time anyway.
