Talking 50 mm throttle body

Hey...I came across an ebay listing of someone reconditioning our throttle bodies to 50mm. It looks like he doing what is on our diy...just wondering if anyone has bought from him or can give me an additional information?

I would post the link but I don't want to give him free advertisement!

I have an extra throttle body I was going to do it myself...but I don't have the drummel or right tools or right now the time...yea yea I know! :P

The guy I bought mine from on the Dakota Forums sells them on Ebay too, so I assume it's the same guy. It's had the horns on top and taper inside the bores removed and smoothed down and opens it up a couple mm. I noticed a small increase, granted it was one of the first things I did so I Imagine it would make more of a difference with the more mods you have. He's a cool guy and easy to deal with.

Here's a kinda crappy picture of it.

50mm or 52mm will be better than stock 48mm tapered or whatever it is. The 52mm, however, is recommended for the 5.9L V8, especially if you have other upgrade plans for it later.
