+1.

The Fastman are modified stock TBs. Very nice work for a relatively inexpensive price tag.

if your going to replace the throttle body, I wouldn't, put the spacer back on it don' t do nothing it just takes up space and you will need if you go the round filter route down the round... There's my 2 cents

yeah bro , when i first bought my ram the 1st "mod" i did was a throttle body spacer, and i put it on not knowing the forum, and then i came upon the forum , and found out all the neg about it, took it off ,and i was actually amazed that a gained power and milage back, because i never knew my truck, becasue i put the spacer on like 2 days after i got it.

so same with you i guareentee that if you take it offm and reset your computer , your truck will run a hell of alot better and you will get power and milage back

one of the worse mistake i made. made my oil really nasty too when i had it on all kinds of sludge.

i do however reccomend the fastman , and take the spacer off and use it as a paper weight in your office and leave it there to remind you to always "check out what your doing/info about it before you do it" !!! best of luck with w/e you decide
