Default new throttle body

I'm putting a new throttle body on my truck. i went with a fastman throttle body. should get in in a few days, anyone else change their throttle bodies and get good results? Also, anyone have any problems with installation?

i had installed TB spacer on mine, took it off a few days ago and have noticed a performance increase in my ride.. most recommend against adding a spacer but i dont know about a whole TB to be honest.. I also have a cold air intake on my truck.. getting exhaust this summer and that should be it..

if you notice anything good with the TB later, please post about it.

Installed mine 6 months ago, also from the fastman. No problems with either uninstall of the stock TB or install of the modified TB, just follow the intructions exactly. Don't forget the PCM resetBEFORE you reconnect the NEG battery cable: turn ignition to START and hold for 15-20 sec. Reconnect battery cable.

I'll definetely let you all know how it goes, i should get it soon, hopefully before i go back away to school. The only reason why i could think that your throttle body spacer didn't add power is because of the stock restrictions on the throttle body itself. I was going to originally change the throttle body and add a spacer, but after research i found that they didn't have spacers that would fit and be the new bore width. if you talk to fastman he can help you out, he knows his stuff and owns a nice r/t dakota himself.
