Fastman Throttle Body?

glass3222 · Jul 29, 2010

I am working on a trade for a Fastman TB. Does anyone here have one? If so, what are your thoughts.

Off_Road_Teacher · Jul 29, 2010

I've got one. It is a pretty good mod, makes the throttle response a little better but that is about it.

The trade I am trying to work out is worth about $100, and the TB is brand new, never used. Do you think that is worth it?

For a $100, it would be hard to go wrong. I have a FastMan TB and I really didn't feel it made a difference. But my truck runs very good, so it may have been hard to detect.

I love this mod, gave the truck a bit more "off the line" or "low rpm" pep. Up top you cant really feel a difference between the ported TB nd the stock TB

Thanks guys. Now I just have to wait for the guy to get back to me.

Find out what the plate type is though. I first had him send me one with the knife edge and my truck did not like it at all. Gave me an error code, throttle was WAY to touchy for me (tap the gas and the truck would jump 10mph which in stop and go traffic was not fun or a good idea. WOT runs with it were sweet though, but everything just was not worth it. Sent it back in and had it replaced with a regular plate and it runs great.

Now this is just my experience with the knife edge plate, Frog's truck runs great with it (well I think he still has it)

It does not have a knifes edge. It is a standard modified hemi tb. Is that what you have or do you have an oversized 84mm hemi tb?

truckin151 · Jul 29, 2010

Mine is an 85mm ported tb which is tapered, not a straight through design. How is the one you are looking at "modified"?

glass3222 · Jul 29, 2010

He said it is the standard modified hemi tb. Here is what is says on fastman's web site:
STANDARD MODIFIED HEMI TB FEATURES:
-Front Side Taper Boring: The opening of the TB is Radiused and Taper Bored to almost 85mm leading back to the stock bore.
-Half Shaft: Modified Factory Shaft. The top of the shaft is removed promoting even more airflow at wide open throttle.
-(Optional) Backside Bore: I can also offer an optional Backside Taper Bore. The back side is taper bored to match the manifold opening very closely.

Alright, thats the one I have there so as long as its the standard fastman setup and is for the right year you should be fine. $100 is a great price.

Great Price, That Mod is on my List of Top 3 Mods on the Ram wish List. and I think it's around 300 Tomatoes New+Shipping.

glass3222 · Jul 30, 2010

Well, the deal fell through. The guy got a better offer. Oh well.

truckin151 · Jul 30, 2010

Damn that sucks!!! You can buy a new one through him for $230 with a $100 core charge if I remeber correctly. ($130 totaql after you send him your stock TB)

dude, borrow someone's TB - and ship him yours to get ported.

Yeah, but not that big of a deal. I have other mods that were ahead of a TB on my list. I just thought that for an even trade that is worth $100 I would do it now. Oh well.

That might be an option down the road. I will also look for one in the junk yards around here. I know some of the owners and might be able to get one cheap or free to send out to get ported.

0212353 · Jul 30, 2010

I let 2 guys borrow my stocker so they could get theirs ported. If I still had a stocker, I'd let you borrow it.

truckin151 · Jul 30, 2010

I still have my stocker but I want to do a straight bore later on with it otherwise Id give it to ya pretty cheap.

glass3222 · Jul 30, 2010

Thanks guy. I am just going to wait a while to do the TB. I have other mods that I want to do first anyway, unless I find a good ported one for cheap
