Default Fastman or Holley Throttle Body?

I am looking for a complete ignition/fuel system upgrade. I am getting some help with ignition (MSD 6AL and blaster 2 coil for a 5.2), and I need to know what throttle body I should get.

THis is my plan:

1. Hi Perf ignition to make a hotter spark
-Any spark plug recommendations, thinking Platinum 2s. ALready have Accel 8MM wires.

2. Throttle body and TRans Dapt Torque spacer
-Fastman or holley

3. CAI...again...Someone stole mine

4. Fitch Fuel Catalyst: Better gas mileage.

Also get a new fuel filter/FPR. I am taking it to the shop for that one.

Thanks

All sounds good, except throttle body spacer, they are useless, good table ornament, also go with the fastman many people are pleased with it who are on this forum.

ThanksAGAIN PA. I used autolites with my camaro. I gapped my Accel U groves to .045, however i have no Hi Po ignition, so i figured i fried my stock coil as a result.

I was thinking the same thing about the TB spacer. I had about 4 different carb spacers for my camaro and didn't notice a difference, but at $10 a pop, they are fun to try out when you are bored.

I will deff let everyone know about the fitch. Since I have the mopar chip I MUST use 92 octane. If the fitch is right by its word, i can run 87 with no diff in power.

Spacers do work on carbs though allows the fuel more time to blend with the air rushing in givingmore bang for your buckHey maybe you should try one of them electric superchargers too, HAHA

+1 on fastmann. skip the tb spacer, use the money elsewhere. dodge injectors are right at the intake port on the head. adding tb spacer makes as much sense as making the plastic air intake pipe 1" longer.
