Default Fastman tb

I'm ready to call Fastman for a TB. What is every ones opinion who did this?
Is there a noticeable performance gain?
What effect on fuel millage?
Any good or bad comments.
What is the best size to go with? Is there a size difference for a HO engine?
Does a CAI complement the new TB or is there little difference?
Thanks

I am pretty sure Dan recommends True 68.5 mm is all you need.

I bet if I got one of these bad boys, and with the mods I have already, and the programmer, I could be a high 6 second 0 - 60...

I tired buying the butterfly from Dan cause I have access to a mill and I think the hardest piece would be the butterfly, although he was stingy, but I guess I understand and dont blame him...

Doe anyone know where I can get a butterfly made to my specs?

The thin metal plate that rotates allowing air to pass through the TB when you hit the gas
