some people elect to keep their stock TB, so they can put it back on somewhere in the future, and re-sell their fastman for cash. so it ends up costing them an extra $80.

dealership has nothing to do with any of this.
+1 for all this except the price tag. Its not $380 something, he charges $315, shipped. You send him back your original, he refunds $80 of that $315.

In the end, if you don't want to keep your old TB, the Fastman TB only costs $235.

After installing the Fastman Throttle Body on my 5.2L engine, my income increased 15% and my cholesterol dropped 30 points!

yeah i think i will end up getting it now. sounds like everyone is pretty happy with it. not sure if i will send more core back to him or not yet. for my CAI i just bought a 14x3 filter and so i'm going to do that instead of going with the Volant CAI. Exhaust, I havent thought too too much about that yet. Buddy of mine has a Accelorator exhaust and it sounds real good.

Oh and I got a question. No matter what I do, I cant get my back wheels to burn rubber lol. Why is that!? Is it because of my 3.55 rear end? Should I go with a 3.73? Be better for towing too. Probably once I get my CAI and Fastman that should help out you think?

Get 4.10 gears and an SCT tuner.

They'll spin.

4.10 gears huh? There goes my gas mileage lol. I cant get that SCT Tuner for my truck because I dont have the OBD 2 sensor in it.

So I was reading some other posts, and alot of people were saying that if they had to choose between the Fastman or the 1.7 Rockers, they would go with the rockers. You all agree?

Every one says 1.7. I don't have them so I can't say for my end which is better. Heres a way to think of it fastman let more air into the motor. 1.7's trick the motor into thing it has a new cam in it.
