Sheesh Reid, calm down, man. I made a mistake. It happens to everyone. I simply misread the post.
Everyone has an off day.
Take a happy pill.

Sorry, I guess I was pretty snippy. I had an hour and a half of sleep when I was called into work the night. My bad.

Hey, BBK just came out with a new TB for our trucks at $299.99.
http://www.bbkperformance.com/produc...ttle-body.html

I'm thinking about trying this instead of my 50mm Fastman. from what I've been reading, it's really hard to over TB an EFI engine, The MAP or MAF sensors (depending on vehicle) work to correct it.

MAF systems restrict flow at the MAF sensors.
MAP sensors only measure what the engine is sucking in, and that restriction is almost always in the heads.

IMHO stick with the Fastman. It's a quality piece and 50mm is plenty. You won't see any gains from upgrading it.

Take that $250 and put it towards a cam.

Jr.

My thought is that after I cam it, the 50mm will be too small. Dan's is about 75 cheaper, I'm curious if he'd cut me a deal to go to 52mm.

Unless you're running a monster cam, I really don't think you'll see any gains from a 52mm TB. However Dan might let you send back the 50mm as a used unit that he can recondition, and in turn cut you a good deal on the 52mm.
