a fastman tb is a great investment i had one on my 99 ram and i loved it i sold it to help fund my new system in my new truck and its on my list for sure dan makes a great product and very personable and gets it out to you as soon as he can .....sometimes he has to make it but its still a reasonable time......im thinking the knife edge is a sharper edge compared to a flat edge for less constiction? am i right on that?

For the knife edge it looks like he takes the plate of and tapers the top edge, kind of like they do with a knife or blade of some sort. It isn't sharp though. I tried to show it in the pic above and you can see the tapering he puts on it. When I ordered mine he said that some people have good results with it and others can throw codes because it becomes to touchy for the computer. Personally I am loveing it.

As far as the shaft goes, if you take off your TB the shaft is a full shaft on the stock TB (in otherwords it has the bar on both sides of the plate), the one I ordered is a half shaft so only the back side has the shaft while the front side is smooth so less restriction, more air flow.

So driving home today I realized something, as I was driving the truck last night it felt great, really light traffic but felt great. This morning driving to work samething it felt great, a little busier but not to bad. This afternoon in stop and go traffic was pure HELL. Once I stop the truck if traffic moves up a few car lengths I cant just let off the peddle and let it inch forward, it was like that with the old TB and was because of the high stall converter. So a light tap on the gas with the old one got me moving nice and slowly. With this one, giving it enough gas to get me moving automatically jumps it up to 10mph and I have to slam on my brakes to stop in time. It was like that for about 30min all the way home.

Get off the freeway and get to some traffic lights where Im the first person in line and you punch it and spin the tires and are up to 50mph in a blink of the eye which is great I love that feeling. go to pull into the garage, have to give it a little gas to get it moving and again it jumps up to about 10mph and I have to slam the brakes to stop it before I go through the garage and into my house.... NOT FUN!!!! Im pretty sure it is all because of the TC, or my idle is to low for some reason.

So How do you take off the throttle body plate? I want to take off the knife edge plate and put the stock one on it instead. If that doesn't solve the problem (which I think it will) I will be putting the stock one back on. Im pretty sure it is all because of the high stall TC, or my idle is to low for some reason. Either way I am not driving in rush hour again like that, it is way to dangerous for me and the person in front of me!!!
