That looks better than the Fastman, since it is polished, too.

Man, considering I can port one of these in about an hour, maybe I should buy some cores... Anyone know if that guy is replacing the IAC and TPS? Cause that alone is nearly worth the $100.

I've emailed the person making these throttle bodies. He believes they are better than the fastman because he makes it have a mirror finish which results in better air flow. He is a retired man just passing the time and offering dodge owners an affordable upgrade. He seems like a great guy trying to help us dodge guys out!

What's up guys? This is me, the retired dude that modifys the TB's on ebay that you're talking about.

I started modifying the 5.2 & 5.9 TB's a little over a year ago just more or less to have something to do during the day. Since then, I've also started modifying the 3.9 V6 and the 4.7 TB's.

I'm not looking to make a lot of money from modifying these, but just trying to give the Dodge guys a quality performance upgrade that is affordable. People that don't have a lot of money to spend and want a few performance upgrades just can't afford to pay these high prices we see out there today and that's where I come in.

My TB's have never been flow tested or have I ever had one on a dyno, but I've modified and sold close to 300 of them now and have never had a complaint. I've always offered a 100% money back guarantee if you're not satisfied.

If you have any questions or want more info, just LMK and I'll do my very best to help you.

To the Mods, if this post is against the vendor rules, please delete it and you have my sincere apology.

This should be the one you're looking for. This style linkage normally came on the '94-'95 models with EGR.
