Teach is right, I do tow enough that I didnt want to give up that low end, also BWdakrt doesn't make a 52, he says it doesn't make sense on our engine, its too much, He says that we will see more gains out of a 50 than a 52 unless we are doing alot more to our engines than just the standard modifications. And again, as I mentioned previously, his is truly polished perfectly, I mean, I wash semi trucks and I have seen some good polish jobs, and this one is up there! It is very smooth. He seems to know very well about what he is talking about, and again, he isn't in this to try and make a profit, he is helping other dodge owners get a great product for a reasonable price!

Honestly you probably wont notice a whole lot at WOT, it will probably pull a little better but the real place where you will notice it is gonna be in the lowend and city driving where it should give it some more pep

So that part of this deal has been nearly unbeatable, and a new ported throttle body for only $105 is a great deal, I think he also offers $25 core return as well but I have to check with him, I dont remember, it could be $20, but it is still a very good deal!

So to update everyone on this, I am very happy with this throttle body and would suggest it to everyone with the 5.9!! Very good quality, and I can feel and even see the difference in the way the truck runs. My throttle response is so much quicker, I dont even have a good intake on the truck yet to really be able to see the benefit, I still have the stock intake box on my truck with just a k&n drop in, so I hope that putting something else on that will pull more air in will be helpful. I am thinking a 14X3 on the top.

I would line it up quick!! It was well worth it! Im glad I stumbled across BWdakrt before I spent a lot on the fastman throttle body! His 50mm throttle body paired with the 14X3 I just put on today is quite the combo!! It pulls a lot of air, and the exhaust is actually noticably louder even, thats how much of a difference it made, I didnt notice it as much at first with the stock intake on, but the 14X3 really woke it up! He also gives suggestions as to good supporting mods, He suggested that I replace my 1 hole pintle fuel injectors to 4 hole ford pintle injectors, apparently that helps alot! So that will be my next project, then I will get the Hughes airgap, then roller rockers.
