Nope, its aftermarket. Not sure they they put that big lip around it though.

Not saying that Socha is wrong but I believe I have seen that throttle body before and I am pretty sure it is stock. The reason I say that is I recall an article about modifying your own throttle body where the guy had one like that, with the big lips on the bores and all.

I don't have a Fastman but from what everyone who gets one says, if you have the money go for it. It would definently be an upgrade over the stock one for sure.

My TB look like that also. I have had it off and on several times. Why do you question if it is stock or not?

That is the stock TB. Most stock TB's were Holley, I think a few of the earlier years might have been something else. A fastman TB is also a Holley (because he takes a stock TB and modifies it).

The 50mm Fastman is a work of art. I just love how the bores are smoothed over on the edges. Here is mine:

Ya, they are awesome. I didn't notice on mine, but looking at that picture, it looks like he machined off the word "Holley". Is that correct, or is it just the way it looks in the picture.
