whats the deal with the fastman TB anyway? Do you buy one from him straight out or do you need to give him yours as a core??

you buy one from dan for 260.00. when you receive the throttle body he gives you 30 days to swap out the factory one for the reworked one. when you send him the factory one, he will give you 80.00 back. if you wish to keep the factory one also then it is a straight 260.00, so for 180.00 you get a better performing rig. here is a pic of the two. one stock and one from dan

wait Mike can you tell me what it means that the TB is like a full bore of 68mm?? I know you get an overall boost throughout the powerband, but why is this again?? Because theres no restriction anymore?

ur stock one is i think 68 going in, but as it goes out its only 63 or something like that, it gets smaller as it goes out, fastman is 68.5 straight through-

Save up and get rid of the lame Silver paint job for a nice shade of Inferno Red Crystal Pearl Coat.

grab a bottle of soda and hold it upside down. the bottom end is bigger then the top, this is the way our tb are. larger in the frt skinny on the back end. now look at a can of soda. see how it is the same size top to bottom, dan removes the restriction from the factory tb and makes it the same size top to bottomm, better airflow means more power.

Did you guys notice any drop in mpg with the FastMan throttle body? Any quirks? Or is it just a simple swap out? This maybe the next upgrade for me as well. I know you cant build horseys without feeding them. I just dont want to get to a point where I am losing my economy. I wanna know all the input you guys can give. Not trying to steal your thread Snipe, just curious
