Red face On the fence

Well it's tax time again and I have a few plans for the ram of course. It was planned to order the fastman tb and 1.7 rockers but things may not work out as planned. If you guys could only pick one, 52mm fastman tb or 1.7 rockers.........which would it be? Which is the biggest bang for the buck?

Rockers, unless you plan to do some major engine work later down the road. With the fastman it seems that you wont noitice that much difference on a stock set up. Or at least, thats what I thought when I tried one.

I loved my Fastman, but from what all I've read here, the 1.7rrs, although more expensive, deliver better bang for your buck.
