Throttle body question

[Viper83101]

Just wondering if anyone here has ever gotten a ported throttle body from "the fastman". If so how did you like it? I have had throttle body's from him before and was extremely pleased with the look and function but haven't heard if anyone here has ever gotten one for these trucks from him.

Can't say I have heard of anyone using one either. For the price of an aftermarket one, such as BBK or JTSVP, and the ability to sell your stock one, I'd go that route.

Sorry if I sound dumb but what route are you suggesting?

Purchase a BBK or JTSVP and sell your stock one.

Ok thanks Andy. When I get ready to sell my stock one, what is a good asking price?

I'd hang on to the OEM TB just in case


Spare parts are hard to come by when you need them.... now!

They are, my stock is low. Hence the reason I am collecting more.

What gains can one expect by going with an aftermarket throttle body?

Very nice. Guess that's what I'll be getting next.

I had actually came across a thread a while back where they had dyno tested the jtsvp throttle body against the bbk throttle body. Here is the link.

You might need to plan ahead

Website states there is a 3-4 week wait time. So plan ahead as Jeff said.

Actually to be honest, a lot of the specialty stuff (regardless of vendor) won't have a bunch laying around on shelves somewhere. If your thinking about something that is expensive, takes CNC work, etc....., see if you can get a group buy going. They could be cheaper (only a possibility not a guarantee) that way and runs (sometimes) happen faster when they are already promised (or presold kind of thing)

Just make sure the group buy is with a vendor.
