Ok, Im looking to get a new upgrade for my 1996 Dodge ram 1500 with a good many bolt on done to it already. I have been looking at the SCT tuners or a fastman or hughes throttle body. What do you all think I should go with.

Definitely a tuner...you can clean out your stock throttle body for free, and I'm sure it will run a little better too.

Tuner. Hemifever can get you setup with an awesome tune from SCT.

I have both and they go perfect together. Amazing throttle response along with extra power... I love it. I'd go with tuner first though then go with throttle body since the tuner will get you more power
