Default Fastman Throttle Body

Ok I have been searching alot on here about the Fastman TB. Everyone says they are great. When you buy it, do you get to keep your old TB too? Or do you have to send your original one back? I am just afraid that if I have to send it back I might not like the Fastman. Theres more power right? But will you get less MPG?

80$ core charge. which will be refunded when you return yours. i also kept mine. just incase.lol donnt expect huge hp gains. it doesnt work like that. mine just plain ran better and smoother. i like it though. you will feel a little hp increase in the upper rpms. just donnt expect a miracle. it works in conjuction with other mods.

So what did you notice about your MPG? Did it drop at all?

and also Dodge 4x4, what exactly is "exhaust superchips cold air 1.7?"

He just forgot to use commas.

Exhaust
Superchips
Cold air intake (Go with the 14x3 airhat instead, cheaper, probably better)
1.7 Rockers.

I have a Fastman, and along with cutting the intake runners, my truck actually *gained* in the overall MPG category by about 2MPG.

No, your MPG should not drop at all. If you can keep your foot out of it, you might even gain a tad.

I got into the 15's when I had mine on the 360... it should be mentioned that it was on a road trip where the fuel is "good" (outside Cali)... I could easily average 14 mpg on the hiway with the crap gas we have here.

yes, it sucks. and only 91 octane is available @ the pumps. have to go to specific stations for 100 octane and it's $8 bux/gallon

in the CTD however there is no problem... diesel is just expensive no matter where you get it.
