I've been running my Fastman for over two years and am glad I spent the money. As far as the TB Spacer, I have the one I purchased sitting on my desk as a reminder to research a mod before spending money on it. It really does work good as a paperweight and a good conversation piece for the people that I work with that are automotive illiterate.

I got the 50mm for my 5.2L and I am very pleased with it! Dan is a very helpful guy on any questions you have and is very quick to respond.I believe you will be very happy with your new TB from him. I have yet to hear any complaints about his products.

I picked up a Fastman 52 for my 5-9 and I think it is a great mod. I find it has a good cost to benefit ratio.

I dont get how so many people clame to have such good proformance gains from a TBS. It doesnt seem like it could physicaly do what it clames. Our dodgs are MPI not throttle body injection so spinning air to create a better mix wont happen. Plus turbulance in an intake manafold is not part of the design. I think it maybe more of a psychological effect. You spend money on your truck to add something and your going to lay into it more then your daily driving. Of course your going to feel a "difference" but i think its fake. I dont have a fastmen but have heard enough evidence and technical explinations that there a waste of money.

The fastman we are talking about is not a Throttle Body Spacer, but a whole remanufactured, remachined Throttle Body that replaces the stock Throttle Body. Yes Throttle Body Spacers do nothing for our engines, but that is not what we are talking about when we say we have a Fastman.

i just picked up my fatman TB last week. i stopped bye his place and he put it in for me, he is a great guy. he told me that he was working on the 52mm for the 5.9s at the time. he told me to stop bye the next day and hed throw one in for me since i was a local guy and im glad he did, because i think he did a couple things that i wouldnt have done if i would have done it myself. he adjusted the plates perfectally for me and then cut the gasket a bit so it fit the new TB perfectally. Dan is a great guy and ill be asking him for input on any mods i do from here on out. he is the kinda guy that you can talk to about anything about your pickup. i highly recommend him.
