Default tires and throttlebody

well, i just bought some new tires for the dak. i had to cuz the stock ones were dry rotting. bought some General Grabber UHP's in 265/70R16, which is 10 wider and 5 taller than stock. the tires ride great, get good traction and i am satisfied with them so far. since they are bigger, the front tires rub a little if i am trying to do a u-turn or something, but i just dont turn my steering wheel all the way when i turn, so its no problem for me.


also, i just got a raise and i was thinking of getting a fastman throttlebody. i know some people here have one, so i wanted to hear if it was worth the money. Can u feel the difference in power? anyone get a better time at the track?


thanks for your input




Derrick

From what I hear you can feel the power increase a bit. It's a lot more responsive is what most say.

the fastman is worth the money and dan is a great guy to do bussiness with. his exchange program is good to. he gives you 1 month to swap out your factory tb for the reworked one. simple, remove the three screws that hold it on, and remove the conectors and replace on other tb, just install and away you go.
