Caltracs will tame the axle and give you consistant launches.

Awesome Dave! I think it's time to BOOST the Reaper!

Boost is not worth the "Headache's" .... just like getting BLOWN, it sucks with no tuning for the 03's. For what I had in the SuperChange setup (almost $9,000 dollars) I could of had a BAD ASS Stroker Motor!

Nice you are running MM Ported TB as not many are running them. Love mine.


Yes, and Dave Webber was the "Pioneer" of the Ported TB's. I went to other people and was told the Hemi TB's were at their limit. I meet Dave in 06 at a Mopar Event at Virginia Motorsport Park. We talked for some time and he asked if I would like to do some R&D work for him, I said sure! It was running and testing the MM ported TB's. After Dave did this everyone jump on the ported TB's but, I say his TB's our the best out there! I say this because of over 50 runs I did with his TB and others ( not going to say names) and I always pick up time with his TB.

Cool. I got mine through his ebay store and came within a week. Good mod.
Also purchased his 5.7/6.1 Adapter plates w/ thermal gaskets and the quality is top notch.

My fastman dropped my times by about 0.05-0.1sec pre cam. It didnt want to play nice with the cam though so it pulled and the stocker was put back on.

I didn't really feel a difference when I installed a Fastman TB. Workmanship looks good.

His TB's work great! Others I tested, all I got was a little better throttle response as (most at the time) just cut the front face of the TB's. Dave's TB's had a more snapper throttle response, I got 1 1/2 - 2 miles more per gallon of gas (open road), on hot runs I was picking up 0.80 - 1.00 and on cold runs 1.50 - 1.80 in the 1/4. Also looking at the time slips it was working all throw the RPM band. I did 20 runs one day, 10 with the stock and 10 with the MM...every two passes I would go in to pits and change out TB's. On every run...and they were hot runs the MM TB gave me 0.80 -1.00 more in the 1/4 mile.

Hmm, what cam are you running? I have installed MM TB's on stock cams, 260, 268, with no problems? Maybe it was a bad TB?

Good info Dave, The fastman might have picked me up a .05 or so. I couldnt do like you though and compaire the stock to the ported back to back, my OEM took a crap bout 2 weeks after the first cam install and never had a before and after run time.
