Well you could buy it, send it the fastman, so you can still drive your truck while hes reworkin the TB

 

Well, to answer your question... No, I haven't tried his TB's.

The other pics don't look quite as bad as the first, but I'd be wary. Maybe search his feedback for buyers of his TB's.

I wouldn't pay $150 (+$39 core) for it, but that's me. I can't say it's crap without seeing and...

Oh, hell! I just looked at the Fastmans site. $225 for the 50 or 52mm? I would not hesitate to get the Fastman unless you can get the other one REALLY cheap!

I wouldn't risk it myself. I do realize youwere being cautious, and that you were looking for people who actually bought that TB. Sorry if I told you things you already knew...

 

No way would i buy that... hell i can do better with my eyes crossed , arm behind my back , standing on one leg , drunk

 

So in otherwords, how you do all your mods.

 

SNAFU

 

Whats that mean? SNAFU?

 

Situation Normal, All Fouled Up

(That's the clean version )

 

Thanks for all the input everyone. I've got an extra TB and intake laying around in the garage, so maybe I'll try doing something with that before I buy anything.

 

That is what I would do, since you already have one laying around. As for the ebay one, I feel it is way overpriced for being virtually no different than the one you will take off your truck other than 2 minutes of grinding off only a portion of the restrictive tabs. I agree with everyone else on here, that looks like a hack job. I am very happy with the Fastman TB I got. You wouldn't be saving too much money by getting the ebay one, and for sure would have much less of a product. I have yet to find a comprable TB for the money than Fastman. I would definitely buy one from him again. That's my $.02 on the subject.

 

Would someone please put their truck on a chassis dyno and do a dyno run with the stock TB and then do a dyno run with the modified TB? Could we get some objective results other than a butt dyno?
Please?
