Nothing noticeable I don't think. I can write him and ask him for his opinion... but those I know with his TB installed never mentioned any differance or much at all in mileage. Let me know if you want me to write and ask him. :)

~Amanda

Hi Amanda, this deal does sound great. As you know, I am a hard sell without the facts. Does your contact have dyno proven gains. I checked the site, but I am poor at searching. Please let me know as I may be interested in the TB for the 5.9.

Thanks for lookin out for us:D

There is no dyno tests on his site... I'll ask him and get back to you. ;)

~Amanda

Thank you Amanda[sm=smiley27.gif]

Okay... got the answers...

Vader > > >
"I had them on my old website. My webmaster lost them. The actual gains are 13-15HP and 15-17 TQ when tested on a 5.9 Ram with a Muffler and Cold Air Intake already added before testing." Quoted right from The Fastman.

blknredram > > >
"Mileage remains the same and most report a slight gain with normal driving." Quoted right from The Fastman. See? It helps gas mileage with normal driving... but I don't drive normal myself. LOL!

What so you guys think?! C'mon!! This is a GREAT GREAT GREAT offer... Anything else I can do to help convince y'all?

~Amanda

Whoa, great gains. This might be the way to go. I just ordered my Gibson exhaust. Let me see if I can scrap together some $$$$. Thanks Amanda.

THANK YOU! YAY!! YOU ROCK!! ;) You know where to find me if ya need me...

~Amanda

C'mon everyone!! This is a fabulous deal!! Two orders placed so far... excluding mine... spring is coming... this is an outstanding mod for making any engine breathe better... when they breathe better, they run better.

So PLEASE, check it out and consider one for you... make it a present to the Dodge... whatever. They are easy enough to install, and the gains are unmistakable. Everyone wants the best on their engine... The Fastman is the BEST!! Just buy one!! LOL!

~Amanda

And now I have 3 orders placed... YAY!!

~Amanda

Just a side note - everyony at the Durango Owners Forum (www.durangoclub.com) swears by The Fastman and his products.

Also - I checked Fastman's website but didn't see anything on how to install - if I order one how much work am I getting myself into?

Thanks for the booster!! I'll have to go check out Durango Club!

Not hard at all... 4 bolts, three wire connectors and the linkages. I would think The Fastman would supply directions, but if not... it's all there. You'll see where everything goes when removing the stock TB. If he doesn't supply directions, I'll write up a step by step page... we'll have to get it into the Tech Help section... Hehehe!

Anyway... it's not hard... 30 mins I'd say. :)

~Amanda

Now four orders!! THANK YOU!!

C'mon guys!! What other questions about them can I answer??

~Amanda

Our goal at this point in time is to sell 25!! That's 21 left. This is a terrific product, I can't wait until some of the orders are filled so you'll all hear the wonderful things people have to say about his product!! :)

Anyone else have any questions?

~Amanda

The Fastmans TB's are great, just installed one on my friends 03 Dakota and that thing scoots. You could really tell the difference all the way through the powerband. Great buy. Took ten minutes to install and we were back on the road. Will get one for my ram next week.

You are AWESOME!! Thanks for backing me up on my recommendation on the TB. They are fabulous products! :)

~Amanda

There is another site on the web that did a TB Shoot out a while back. They took a 5.9L with mild mods and installed a Fastman, Hueghs, and a bunch of other TBs of verious stages and costs. The fastman was the cheapest and was outperformed by one TB if I remember right...and that was a 1200.00 TB!!!

I have had my TB for a while now...nothing noticable on gas...but damn!! Throtle response and power were both increased!!

He sends instructions, the TB, a new gasket, new bolts, and an "s" bolt in the "kit". It is a verry easy ans streght forward install. He is a great guy to work with ans if you have any problems with the install he is willing to help out!!

I lost my overdrive, and cruse control after swaping TBs and gave him a call thinking I did something wrong. He was verry patient and walked me through a few possibilities.

As it turned out my TPS sensor fried due to some tinkering I did a few weeks before and just by chance thats when it failed. Has nothing to do with the TB, but Dan still took the time to try and help me!!

Due to his customer service, I will be getting an O2 sim or 2 from him shortly, even though you can get the same thing else where too!!

If you are thinking about some mods for your Ram, these TB's are the way to go!!

will the new throtle body, affect the factory computer, and start throwing engine prob signs,[:o]

No... not at all... :):)

~Amanda

hey are you working for fastman? :) you sold me! what does one need to do to get the discount? i want to order one

also about the o2 sims.. will performance improve any if the cats are removed?

thanks

before I make an order, does anybody know if these things really work ? I have a 98 SS/T ram with a 5.9. If it works, as in a power increase, I'm in. Are there any actual dyno tests that a person could look at ?:eek:

Please read back into this post for your answer on dyno... ;)

I was just coming to post to say that we installed on eon the 5.2l 318 (the blue ram on my site) and it did wonders!! Touchier gas, more power, totally feel-able on a stock truck 4x4 except for a CAI... NICE!! I was VERY VERY VERY impressed... I squeeled tires all over the place. LOL!! Can't wait to get it on my 5.9L!!

Yes, they REALLY work Molson_Muscle... as you get to know me, you'll know that I don't bring anything that's not totally awesome to our site. ;) Hehehe!!

~Amanda

I cant wait to get mine back and see what it can do. I hope to best my performances before. I got my truck ready to go except for my tb!

geez man, you have a car lot or sumthin?

I have to say I was honestly surprised it did what it did to the 4x4... I can't wait to get mine on The Lady In Red... LOL! It's like torture waiting... LOL!!

~Amanda

Amanda I know what you mean! I sit there and look at my baby wondering when shell be up and growlin again! and in response to you ovek I dont have a car lot I just like fine automobile's! LOL! Really though Both Truck's and Jeep mine, Sebring Conv. wife's, Both 72 Roadrunner and 73 Satellite are my show/ race car's I use my dually to haul them to street shows and drag strips.[sm=tongue.gif]

Okay Amanda, I want one and I will be paying by Certified Money Order or Bank Check. Let me know what to do.

I want one too and will be paying by credit card. Let me know what to do too plz.

This is what I need, you can email it to me at DODGEGIRL19@aol.com and I'll get it right to The Fastman. :):):)

Thanks guys!! I'm sure you won't be sorry... after what it did to the 5.2L 4x4... I cannot wait to get mine for my 5.9L, it'll do wonders I'm sure... I'm PSYCHED! :)

~Amanda

I am new to this forum and noticed this thread. I am curious if the offer is still available or not. Thanks.

You got email, Amanda. Thanks

Got it Vader... THANKS!!

And yes...the offer is still available!! Welcome to the site BIGSweed! :):)

~Amanda

Ok, this is a great deal!!!!!!!!!!!!.[sm=smiley20.gif]..how much longer will the offer last? At least another couple weeks? I am trying to get together the cash...when we order about how long from when we order can we expect delivery. Thanks for any info.

-Chris

The deal will be up for awhile I'm sure... The Fastman and I have a solid friendship... so, I think it'll be offered for awhile.

Once he recieves the payment, it's usually within that week (usually a few days, but I don't want to assume) the TB goes out, but he can give you a better time frame when he contacts you... I hope you do pick up this deal... it's AWESOME for our Magnum engines... ;)

~Amanda

Talked to Dan at Fastman tonight. HE is a great guy. My TB should be ready in a week or so. I CANT WAIT.

Got my TB back from Dan on Monday Installed it Yesterday. LOOKS GREAT, Better than the Aftermarket one I had on before! I highly Recommend his Work![sm=smiley20.gif]

YAY!! I'm so happy to hear that! :)

~Amanda

Ooooooh, did you notice any perofrmance gains ????

I definitely want to hear someone that says they noticed a difference in performance after they installed this throttle body before I commit to purchasing one.

Well... did you read this one? And I'm not lying about it at all... WONDERFUL gains, surprised the heck out of me to be honest. LOLOL!

~Amanda

Ok, TB came in the mail today. It will be on the truck by Friday afternoon 4/16. I let ya know.;)

faster service for higher ranking forum members eh?

Why would you say that? He has fast service to everyone, DF members or not... I know lots of people that had his product long before DF started... they all rave about him. :)

~Amanda

vader and I placed our orders at the same time and he already has his installed, im not expecting to have mine until next week which is still great time/service. just leads me to think his higher rankings here had something to do with it ;)

Im not complaining, fastman called me and was very fast and professional, cant wait to get it on my truck. he even helped me with ideas of gaining low end power over high end. thanks for getting us in touch with him!

Actually, I can tell you for a fact that rank doesn't matter... Why? The Fastman doesn't even visit the forums, not this one or any of them... that's why I'm his sales person here. He's too busy machining things to do check out things online... again, that's why he has me. :)

Do you have a 5.9L or no...? Perhaps he had to make yours and not Vaders? Maybe Vaders order came in first, I know Vader and The Fastman talked late late one night and his TB went out that next day, and arrived... two days later... so, yours isn't far behind and rank has nothing to do with it because he doesn't even check, doesn't even visit the site, he just makes excellent parts for our Dodges. ;)

~Amanda

Yes I have the 5.2, he said it has to be machined. He must have already had one in stock for vader's then.

Fastman also recommended the k&n filter. Do you know if there is a complete replacement for the tube and everything? Maybe a heatshielded aluminum one? Or would I be wasting my time replacing the tube etc. instead of just the filter?

I'm new to dodgeforum as well as just buying new dodge truck with the 5.2L. what kind of performance gains should i expect? all everyone has talked about is the 5.9L.

kevin

It does the same for the 5.2L... soon the 5.2 orders will be fufilled and people will be posting and raving about them as well. :)

~Amanda

Get the k&N CAI its 280 something from crutchfield. I put mine on the a tune up and got about 2 mpg, and a little better performance. Definatly thinking about this guys TB cause I want some more power cause i got the 5.2 auto, just want to lite up the tires every once in awhile but it wont now.

This sounds like a great idea to me, i'm gonna purchase soon...
but what about an intake manifold? anywho.. off of the perfomance subject.. does anyone know if you have a Reese Hitch Installed already w/ a stock rear bumper ... is it possible to replace the stock bumper w/ a 8 or 10 inch drop bumper.... is that going to not let me use the reciever on the Reese Hitch???? that would SUCK.

amanda just sent you all my info I'm in for one PLEEEEEASE...lol

Just relplied... THANK YOU! :)

~Amanda

just got my fastman TB in the mail yesterday! it looks awesome! gonna put it on today!

got the TB on before the trip to orlando, throttle responds quicker, i can feel alot more mid and top range power but think it may have lost some low range power.. acts like my computer is not learning the new TB yet and setting it too lean.. also seems like gas mileage is slightly lower, probably due to lean and i need to get it reset.. does anyone know how?

all and all i love the new TB and fastman gave perfect instructions and even included new stainless allen bolts for mounting it and a new gasket as well as a new s bolt which i didnt need for my specific model and sent back to him with the core.. took about a half hour to change with basic tools. id recommend it to anyone that doesnt have it :)

The computer will learn the new TB, that's why it's running lean, the same thing happened with the one I put on the blue 4x4. I believe it said in his instructions that it's 400 miles or so.

I find it odd you think you lost low end, it improved the 4x4 ten fold on low end power... I hope you change your mind. :):)

I'm SO SO SO SO SO glad you like it and recommend it... it's a FABULOUS product. :):)

~Amanda

he actually says 40 miles in his instrictions. my idle is also a little higher and goes up and down a little.. i would think that is the learning thing.. ive put over 500 miles on it.. i think the computer in my truck must be stupid or just a little slow lol. im not gonna worry about it until i get new headers and CAI

hmm just remembered about the EGR.. wonder if the gasket is blocking it, i didnt pay attention to that during install. oops

the TB that was on the truck already said on it HOLLEY. do they come stock with holley TB? the one i got from fastman did not say holley but looked identical ecept for his machining and new gates etc.

Hahaha! I must be blind and adding zeros... LOL! The EGR gasket shouldn't bother it since that goes to the intake manifold.

Yep, the stock TB's are made by Holley. ;)

~Amanda

Ok, this deal sounds good, I have a 98' Ram 1500 5.9L, but let me get a few things straight. I pay whatever it is 220 dollars + S/H, then if I send him back my old throttle body I get my 100 dollar deposite back, so total is 320 + S/H, and I get 100 back, that sounds pretty good. Now say I get/have an after market intake. Would this still fit on it or would I have to get a new one? In addition what about throttle body spacers, 1" would I be able to put it on or would I have to get a hood modification? Installation you say is simple. I guessing you remove the stock air box, unscrew the 4 TB bolts, and unhook the wires and the latches. Pull that off, pop the new one on and reconnect everything? Sounds good, will he still have this deal over the summer? or is it going to end soon, does he have a limited ammount or something. And in terms of power increase I would get somewhere around 17 hp with an after market intake. Plus say an exhaust.

I may be a potential buyer but first I'm gonna have to do a little extra research in general about TB's and so on.

Thanks,
Mike.

Exactly right... it would be about $320 with shipping until you send him your old TB back then the $100 is refunded back to you.

Since you emailed me too, I'll answer all your other questions there... :)

~Amanda

Wow, haven't checked this post in a while.

My order had absolutely nothing to do with Rank. There happened to be one TB available for my 360 when I ordered. Dan explained that he sometimes gets way ahead but then falls behind. Thats why it is important to send them back as quick as possible.

Amanda is the most important member of this forum. Not the Dark Lord of the Sith:D

well now that i finally got my pcm to reset everything seems to be working great!

but now its time for headers, any recommendations?

Amanda,

Just sent you my info for my Fastman TB.

After looking around this looks like the best deal out there right now. I was considering BBK 70mm (for almost $400) but had read so much negative about it I was scared off.

Looking forward to my newest addition.

I have ordered a new AIRRAM (http://www.airram.com) intake to hopefully compliment this purchase.

Got it... THANK YOU!! I believe you'll be very happy!!

~Amanda

Just talked with Dan at Fastman and finalized my order with them.

Felt bad for the poor guy as he is even working through the Memorial Day weekend just to get the orders out.

Now thats dedication!

Thanks Dan!

Dan is a VERY hard worker... but he plays even harder... :) He's a GREAT guy!! You'll be thrilled with his product. :)

THANKS!!

~Amanda

What is the average wait time for the tb to get to you? I am pacing the floor cause I want to put this on and see what it will do!!

Amanda - how many have purchased so far, did DF make its target goal of 25 sold?

Oooh, I've lost track of how many have been purchased, we've definately exceeded the original goal of 25.

The time for delivery varies... Dan usually lets you know at time of purchase... did he not? I'll write and ask him about your order. :)

~Amanda

I didnt want to come off sounding impatient - just planning a trip and wanted to make sure I had my delivery covered. Dont want to leave my new toy on the front porch. ;)

Got an email from Dan on Monday, tb is on its way. I have already set aside time this weekend to get it on!

WOO HOO!

amanda, i am planning to purchase a '01 with a 318 in it soon, is fastman still taking orders with the same deal? if so, i'll probably inquire you about getting one of the tb's as soon as i get my truck.

ovek: "...he even helped me with ideas of gaining low end power over high end. thanks for getting us in touch with him! "
i'm curious as to what he had to say about increasing low end torque if you would like to share? if privacy is a concern would you mind sending me an email?

what i have in mind is k&n cai, jba exhaust and headers and possibly this throttle body. wow that's a lot of extra money to spend, but if i get that grunt out of such a heavy truck, it'll be so worth it.

Hi Amanda,

I hope you're having a wonderful day.

Is the special buy still open to a new order?

I have a 5.9L Durango R/T that would just love a little more power.....
OK, you got me, I would love the extra power ;-)

Let me know.
Thanks.

Hello Brian... I am having a decent day... busy busy busy... but that's me everyday. LOL!! How are you? Glad to have you here at DF. :):)

Yep, this is still open... both YOU and YOUR DURANGO will love the extra power. :):) Just send me this info at DODGEGIRL19@aol.com

I took a quick look at the Fastman's web site. I didn't see anything about the new 3.7L V6. Does it use the same TB as the 3.9, or does he not offer that one yet? If he needs a "guinea pig" 3.7L TB to work on, maybe I can help him out. I mostly ride my motorcycle in the summer, and might be able to send him my TB to work on.

I sent an email to Fastman via his website and got an answer to my own question. He does have TB's for the new 3.7L V6, and quoted me a fantastic price! Great news for all of us buying the new Baby Magnum who want a little more performance.

Oooh I'm so sorry, I didn't see your post. I could have told you that. LOL! My bad... I apologize!!

Did you tell him DF sent you? I hope you like your new TB... you can't buy a better one!! :):)

~Amanda

OK. Now I'm trying to understand. I have a 98 Ram 5.2, 2 wheel drive, that has all the power of an old Rambler American 6 cyl that I had years ago, and gets the gas mileage of a grain truck (15 tops). I've got a K&N, a Helix Power Tower, and stock exhaust. Now from what I read there is no increase in MPG, and some increase in performance? What is the point? This truck needs help for sure but I want something that will at least let it keep up with a GM 4.3! I've never been so disappointed in a truck in my life. Looks good, and it's easy to get a look at it 'cause it won't go fast enough for anyone to miss, especially if there is a hill!:(

Well, I have a 1999 5.2L 4x4 in the family, I just drove it over 1,000 miles in two days and it's got loads of power, gets about 12 miles to the gallon in regular city driving. It's got a Mopar Performance Cold Air Intake and Flowmaster Exhaust for mods, along with the TB. We noticed a ton of gain in performance and no loss in gas mileage when we installed the Fastman Throttle Body... THAT'S the point.

Sounds to me there's a deeper underlying problem with your truck's engine if you aren't getting anywhere fast.... cause the 4x4 can haul some ass.

Read through this post, not one disappointed purchase... obviously it's a great addition to any modified engine.

~Amanda

i know this is a little off topic but
ramarado
my truck had the same problem and it was the stock catilitic converter
it broke free from the mount inside and was plugging the exhaust
talk about a performance gain when i changed it lol

sorry to stray
izzinya

Hello Amanda,

Thanks for the great offer, I talked with Dan about a week ago and purchased mine. I don't remember when he said it would get out. Could you ask him if it's on the way? I can't wait to install it on my durango.

Sure... I will see what I can find out right now. :):)

~Amanda

BTW, what's your last name? I think he'll need that so he knows what order I'm referring to. :):)

~Amanda

Thanks your so nice. let me know as soon as you can. mike

oh it's Hutasangkas. let me know if there's anything else you need

I think that'll be it... I sent it off to him, I'll post here or email you as soon as I hear back from him. :):)

~Amanda

Thanks amanda,

I hope he gets in touch with you soon. just keep on truckin

For those of you considering the Fastman TB....DO IT!
I purchased on and it works great....very crisp throttle response!
Plus, lucky for me I live close, so he even put it on for me!!

Thanks Dan!

Amanda
They have throttle bodies for my SRT 10?
Thanks
Stacy

Stacy - I will find out but I don't think so... the SRT-10 is pretty much perfect as is from the factory... ;)

JJsDodge - OUTSTANDING!! He told me you were going to pick it up... Dan is a wonderful guy, I'm so glad you like his product. :) In installing mine right now... :)

~Amanda

A Fastman testimonial I got through email:
"I have been running a Fastman 52 mm on a '99 Dakota R/T. :-)) Milage if anyhting was helped. It seems quicker and after the Super Chip tuner. Oh boy!!! Headers and K&N Gen II were already there. Fastman for the price turn time and responce to questions seems to be a true craftsman and business man. Willing to take the extra time to answer questions."

golfking - This was his response about the SRT-10:
"I make them for the SRT10 and yes there is a definite improvement. The SRT-10 TB has the same restriction in it as the V8’s. I do not have cores. He will have to send me there original for modification. Have him email or call me and prearrange when it will be coming and I can turn it around within 1-2 days. Pricing is $250 plus shipping."

~Amanda

amanda
is there any way of knowing how much longer this will be going on
??
my wife is going on a trip to alaska soon and
i want to buy one when she gets back
(dont want to spend money before the trip)
probabily middle of august
thanks
izzinya

I was just turned on to this special offer. I have been watching the Fastman's website for a long time now making sure he's still making those bada$$ TBs and not racing all the time. If the offer is still good let me know and I'll sign up and maybe get some others.

Testimony...

Friend with a 1999 4x4 318 added a 50mm Fastman TB (which he already had an exhaust upgrade) and had this to say, "In everyday normal driving I was getting 12.7 (with larger tires, 33" I think). Install the TB, loaded down the truck for a cross country move and averaged 13.7 MPG on an 1100 mile trip through the resent hurricane in Florida, so high winds and lots of rain (he built a custom rack to fit into his receiver hitch to hold his 36" superswamper, 600lbs tire and rack)." I talked to him last night and he said so far (after driving with the truck empty) he is getting 14.3 to 14.5 MGP. Of course he's gained lots of power all across the rpm range.


One thing to keep in mind with add/upgrading the TB. If you increase the amount of air that can go into an engine (like going to a bigger TB) you will also have to upgrade/increase the amount of air the engine can get (as in installing a less restrictive air intake) and removing the used air out of the engine faster (as in high flow cat, less restrictive muffler).
If you just added the TB you'll see a difference, but not the full potential!!!

hey amanda i have a list of mods i want to get done to upgrade the performance on my 5.9 and am in the process of scraping together money to start getting it all done, would this be a good first mod for my truck? i want to get a CAI next but as of now i pretty much have a stock 5.9 and was wondering if i would notice gains on the stock or if i should go and upgrade other stuff before coming back and replacing the throttle body..

also ive never really done anything on the inside on my truck and was wondering if this would be posible for someone who oesn't know much about trucks to install by himself, i have a mechanic for a neighbor but if posible id like to do this by myself for the sense of accomplishment and stuff.

thanks for the reply :-)

I think it's an outstanding upgrade... it did wonders for the 5.2L 4x4 and also my 5.9L... I was more then impressed with the change it made.

Yes, it is very easy to install and comes with instructions. :):) It's an AWESOME upgrade.

~Amanda

That 4.0 Jeep TB is damn sexy. I'm almost tempted to get one for my Neon.

Too bad I've already got one that I've bored out to 62mm myself. Gotta get some sheetmetal and clean it up yet.

IS THE OFFER STILL GOOD?

Hi Amanda, do you know id he has them for a 1990 1/2 ton chevy with 5.7 l, 350 c. i. Thanks, Dave

AndrewH - Got your order, THANKS!

Camero - I'll find out... I doubt it as he deals with Dodge only. But I'll ask. :)

~Amanda

Thank you Ms. Dodgegirl.

And thanks for helping with the avatar, it looks great.

Anytime!! :):)

Don't suppose you know if he makes or would do up a tb for a 90 'tona ES 2.5 turbo. *shrugs* I may be putting a DOHC Neon head on it, but then again, I might not, so if you could find out about throttle bodies for either, that woud be spiffy.

~Jon

Will this have any effect on a stock truck, with no intake or exhaust mods?

Jon - I'll ask him. :)

SWLARam4x4 - Of course it will have an affect on a stock truck. Just like trucks with mods. You'll notice it right away. :)

~Amanda

Jon, here is his response:

To sum it up I can modify about any TB. I do not know all the different makes out there so until I see it I do not always know what I can do. With TB’s I am not familiar with I need to see it or have it sent to me. Cores are readily available for most of the older stuff and I can normally get them very reasonably priced. The special TB’s take a backseat to my normal workload. It takes a bit to jig and fixture for some of this stuff. Most engines respond to a bigger TB. Gains I do not always know. How much bigger is common sense and experience. If customer is willing to work with me I will work with them.

So... LMK! :)

~Amanda

Hi Amanda,

I noticed in a earlier post that there is a throttle body for the new 3. V6 Magnum engines. I was wondering if you could let me know about how much it is and the Avg HP gains after installation. As of now the only thing I've done is put in a cold air intake. I plan on putting on an exhaust very soon.

Thank,

Matt

sorry, that is the 3.7 V6 engine.

Thanks

Don't worry, I figured it out. :) I wrote Dan and am expecting an answer anytime. :):)

~Amanda

Amanda, Isn't Dan on vacation, or is he back already?

Please forgive my delay!! He's back. :)

~Amanda

Are we still able to get the TB for that price or is the group buy over w/??

-ferret

It's still going on. I wouldn't still have it posted if it were over. :) You are more then welcome to get in on it. :)

~Amanda

Are they still for sale?.....Just saw the post and was curious....thanks

Yes they are. :)

~Amanda

i'm this deal is still valid?

kinda funny. i was just exchanging emails with Dan about possibly purchasing one. i joined this Forum today.....and I see this!


Dodgegirl19, you have an email!

Got it and sent it to The Fastman. THANKS!!

~Amanda

Dodge Girl you got mail....

Got it and forwarded it to the Fastman so he can put it in his own words. :)

~Amanda

Hi Amanda,

Regarding the Throttle body for the 2004 3.7L V6 engines in the dakotas, do you know of Dan has throttle bodies to work on, or if he would need mine to work on?

Thanks,

Matt

I noticed on his web site the core charge is now $80.00. Will he accept this as a core deposit now? I ask because I won't have a core to send him so I'll be out 80 or 100 dollars (which ever it is now).
Thanks,
James

He is still offering this deal, yes. :)

~Amanda

Thanks for the reply but that doesn't answer my question. The core charge on the group buy is $100.00 but on his web site it's $80.00. I won't have a core to return to him so I was hoping he would accept the $80 core charge as per his web site.
Can you please find out from him?
Thanks for your help.
James

I see... I'll email him right now. :)

~Amanda

And I still don't know if he has throttle bodies for my 2004 Dakota 3.7 V6 so I can swap it out or he would need mine to work on.

fl dak - The core is $80, it's updated.

Doughrat19 - "I do not have cores for the 3.7 04. If they send me theirs I can rework it. It is tough to keep up with Dodge’s continuing year changes." That was his answer. He doesn't have any cores yet so if you wanted one... we'd have to plan it well. :)

~Amanda

Wow, this has been going on for quite some time. On the subject of cores - I have a 92 TB core, sensors removed and shaft removed. How much would he charge to make this a 52mm TB, since he puts new blades and shaft in anyway? This is going back on a 92 truck with the 92 throttle linkage setup, which changed in 94 I think. I still have the original blades and shaft, but one of the shaft screwholes needs to be retapped.

I shall ask him. :)

~Amanda

$219.95, $5 shipping. He just does not need the core deposit if he sends his original. The 92-94 linkage is a small all steel linkage which changed in 95.

THANKS!

~Amanda

Does anyone have info on the 4.7 gains? I have not done anything to my truck yet... yet, but I will eventually get a K&N drop in, and I think that the TB sounds promising.
I drive about 80 miles a day in my 04 ram QC 4x4, on a relitivly hilly road and my trans kicks down a lot... does anyone know if this power improvement would help decrease the times the trans kicks down???

this still going???

Yes sir, it is. :) Just give me the info I request on the first page and email it to me. :)

~Amanda

hey amanda , i just sent you all my info. hopefully this will help out alot on my mileage. has anyone heard of the gains on the 4.7's yet. ive read the whole post 2x and havent seen anything yet.

has anyone used or ever thought about installing a throttle body spacer like this http://www.lildevilmotorsports.com/product_info.php?products_id=6122

with their fastman tb"s ??? i was just wondering i havent heard anything good come from this product.

I'm with jayskynr up there. Any responses from a 2005 4.7l v8 dakota owner?

It's unusual that prices ever works my favor. [sm=hail.gif]


I'm pretty interested in this TB but would like to see results first even if the TB i need is the cheapest of the bunch.

P.S. My current TB only has like 125 miles on it does he consider that in to any of the price compared a TB with like 200k miles on it? just wondering.

dan called me i think friday and got my order in . i just got done installing it a few mins ago. NOW thats what i call customer service. all round great guy to work with and even answered a few questions away from the throttle body. [sm=smiley20.gif][sm=smiley20.gif]

Will this special buy still be going on in June?

Is it still going on now?

yes it is...if youre interested email amanda@dodgeforum.com

Yup, just like BadStratRT said... email me the info requested on the first page of this thread and you'll get your TB. :)

~Amanda

Mine is ordered! I can't wait. This, plus a couple of other select mods should prove to be good! :D

Thanks so much GeosRam!! ;) You won't be disappointed!!

~Amanda

Amanda, Hi I am trying to find out if this group buy is still available????Thanks Shane

Indeed it is. :):):)

~Amanda

hey there Miss. Dodge Girl,

YOU GOT MAIL!!!!! WHOOOOO HOOO!!!!!!! MORE POWER!!!!! GRRRR!!! [:-]

Any special pricing on valve bodies or stalls? I saw a special buy over on DT, but that post was 2/04 although the TB pricing was the same as here.

Just wanted to drop a line about the Fastman, and his outstanding product. I recently traded out the BBK unit for the Fastman 69.5mm unit. There was a serious difference in performance between the two units. I also paid about half what I paid for the BBK. He backs up his products and has quick service. It was a pleasure doing business with Dan.

Thanks Amanda.

What is the next step in the order process?

I'm anxious to get my TB and it's been a few days and I haven't been contacted yet (altho the Fastman's probably on a well-deserved vacation I bet!!).

Just let me know - thanks!

-Steve

Hello Hello - anybody home?

BTW what kind of HP gains could I see for the V6?

Amanda,
Hi I sent you my info,Thanks Shane

Got it Shane... THANK YOU!! Order has been sent to the Fastman.

TexasNative - I couldn't tell ya... I just know it's the best mod I've ever done to a 318 and a 360 V8... I don't recommend TB Spacers at all though, they are a waste IMO.

superVsteve - Has the Fastman contacted you? He should have I sent your info to him, please LMK. :)

~Amanda

Yes, he emailed me back last week - thanks for following up :)

1992 A-518 transmission for the valve body. 2000+ for the stall.

Thanks.

Amanda: Sent you a PM with my info listed. Let me know if you need any additional info as I am really excited about adding this mod to my just purchased 00' 4x4 w/off-road package. I plan to immediately install the k&n fipk and magnaflow exhaust along with a Mopar finned deep transmission pan, and patiently wait until the Fastman comes in to complete these mods. I will probably add a mag-hytec rear diff cover as well. I was going to buy a new Ram and pay cash, but since I found my 00' w/only 11K miles and mint condition, I paid cash and can now pay cash for LOTS of mods.....watch out America!!!!!:D

Thanks so much for working so hard to provide us members with great service and a great product. Your AWESOME!

Paul

Amanda

I sent you all of my info to get this awsome deal!! Just let me know if I need to do anything!

Thanks
Aaron

Amanda:

Received Fastman 52 on 9/1 and installed that night. Set my TPS @ .72v, reset ECM and fired Old Blue up. Truck runs great! I've programmed back to 87 octane and engine is as strong as it was before on 93. I emailed Dan and thanked him for an excellent product.

Thanks

I am interested in one of the fastman tbodies for my 05 4.7L ram crew cab. How much, were do I send to, details please?

thanks

What size (mm) TB does he recommend for a 2001 5.9L Durango. I have a short ram intake with a 3" wide intake tube.

i don't suppose there are any dyno sheet on this?

i'm pretty interested in it and i'm emailing Dan some of my questions.

I see the last post on here has been about over 2 weeks ago. I really, really want/need this!! Is this offer still available?

Sorry for the delay, I hadn't gotten any orders lately... if I haven't contacted you about your order... EMAIL ME at Amanda@simhorsedream.com ASAP. :) This offer is still available.

THANKS!!

~Amanda

Amanda- Just sent ya an email to place an order for a TB. Thanks.

I put in the order for the TB from Dan on the 11th and he already has it shipped out! Let me tell you, this guy is a very professional and meticulous in his business. For the prompt and efficient shipment I will give him 5 stars!! Now I just have to wait a couple of days for the the TB to arrive in the mail. Thanks again Dan!

So how much HP do i get for my 305.00 ? I hope a lot cuz that ain't cheap !
All it seems they are doing is porting the intakes on the TB ? Im confused ?

I just saw the last date on this thread and was wondering if this group buy was still going on. I have a 2005 3.7L dakota. What are the prices for a 68mm?

I know this post is an old one but just wanted to see if anyone know if fastman is doing anything for this x-mas....thanks all...

My friend just bought a 408 stroker from the Fastman. From what my friend said, Dan really isn't doing throttle bodies any more and that he's trying to go strictly racing production. He might still have some left, but it's getting harder and harder to get a hold of him.

I don't think so. 05bluedak just ordered one and installed it and I am going to be ordering one here really soon. I've emailed him and he emailed me back on the price and power and such.

I looked at one a while back and the jury is still out. I run a Powerdyne supercharger on a 5.9 Magnum and wonder if the modified TB is worth the bucks. I send a little nitrous down the hole once and awhile too. Where I would like to see the gains is cruzing 55 mph, straight and level. Acceleration has not been a problem so far...............ask any 5.0 Mustang. The idea of swerling & twerling the air makes no differance because of the plenume size of the stock intake manifold. What I need is mass or volume and hard data from controled or semi-controled test. I like the product. Brad-Aircraft Engineer

what is different in the design from the new tb from the original tb. what is the price again for a 5.9L, and what do i have to do to order what. PM me if you could please. Thank you

I know this thread is very old an theres some mention these aren't being made much these days--any chance he still takes new orders? Also, I've read throught about 6 pages of post and didn't see a single charger--granted i didn't read them all does anyone have them on their 5.7 Hemi Dodge Charger? Hows the preformance and any dyno result would be nice to know. I would hate spending big bucks for just the sake of moding a part with little gains.

Thanks in advance...

The bores are taken out alittle and thinner throttle blades inserted. Not much overall size to be expanded to due to the bearings riding the outside of the throttle shaft. You can only go so far. Maybe 10 hp gain on good day.
Look into the Holley Custom Billet 52mm tb. It's a better knock off of the F&B and makes betterpowerwith lesscosts. I got mine pretty reasonable from www.southeastperformance.com (http://www.southeastperformance.com) and great service.
