Default Fastman TB and Superchips

I've got a 2002 4.7L 1500 RAM. I currently have a K&N CAI and a free flowing exhaust/no headers and a Superchips max micro tuner. My question is.... Will putting on a Fastman Throttle Body really screw with my programmer. Also do throttle bodies help increase gas mileage or do they hurt it. Obviously from my questions you can guess that I don't know squat about TBs.

It shouldnt hurt your tuner, you may just have to tweek a few settings at the very most. The throttle body won't really do anything for your gas mileage either, it will give you better acceleration though.

Thanks for the info. I was going to call Superchips directly and see what they say. I was hoping that someone would have already done this to their truck. I've heard nothing but good things about the Fastman
