Don't get the Hughes TB. The Fastman reworks TBs just as good, and out of our factory ones, for much cheaper.

Fastman: $305 until you send him back your original, stock TB, then he refunds $80 (core charge), so the end is $225.

Hughes: HUG 5952 (Billet Stage 2 TB) is the equivalent to the Fastman's, and are priced at a dollar short of $400.


My two cents.

when it comes down to it...you can machine your stock TB and get the same numbers on the dyno.

$225 could get you some headers or pay for half the new intake.
