 Subject: 50MM Ported Throttle body for sale
IP: Logged
Message:
It came off a 01 Dakota R/T. It's been ported and smoothed out all over. Definitely made a huge throttle response difference over stock. At least a 10-15HP increase over the stock version. Even the throttle plate blades have been opened up on the shaft only to allow even more air through. I paid $250 to have it ported a couple of years ago. I am asking $200 now as the casting that was ported is still the same. Reason for selling is I have more mods to utilize a bigger TB like the 52MM. Email me if interested and I can send pics.

Today you can get it done for half that price. A few years ago there wasn't much competition out there.

You can get a brand new Fastman for $220. There are a couple guys selling pretty good copies on Ebay, and they rarely get over $150-175.

Sneezer.....A Fastman TB is nothing more than a stock TB ported out. Nothing brand new about it except that it's been cleaned up and ported. My 50mm TB is just like a ported 50mm Fastman TB. When you buy a Fastman you have to provide a core TB(your old stock one) plus $220 for the one he cleans up and ports out. Same looking casting your looking at when it comes back to you.

I think everyone knows that Fastman TBs are ported stockers. Keep in mind that he also replaces the throttle shaft and blades. And for a 52mm or larger unit his are very economical. And for someone who maybe does not have the tools or knowledge to port their own his make the most sense. I was just pointing out the prices available right now. Yours is a ported stocker, similar to a Fastman. To put it in perspective, I recently saw a used Fastman for sale on one of the boards for $125.00. I have also seen several F&B and Holley billet TBs, ranging from 50-52mm, for $200-250 used.

Oops, my bad..they do come with a thinner blade/smaller shaft. But nothing more than that. The rest is just smooth out, cut down areas of metal to increase air flow. I had my work done by (www.flowtechnics.com). He has extensive knowledge in porting/increasing flow #'s. I had my shaft shaved down to get more air down inside, the blades untouched, but everything else was rounded and smoothed out. Fastman's TB are a good bang for the buck if your going larger than the stock 50mm TB. He sells the 50mm and the 52mm for $250 each. Not everyone needs a 52mm especially if they want to retain the torque down low for towing/pulling. The 52mm is for the more modified engine that needs extra air flow. I've seen the new billet TB that sell for $480. Nothing on used prices though. You can only get so much out of a TB. As the Fastman has said before, if your paying anymore than $250 for a TB, your paying too much. I believe I saw where his TB's give 13HP/18 ft lbs of torque over a non ported one. I just bought a used 52mm Fastman for $230 from a private party. The performance I would imagine is the same from say 2 years ago when it was built. Nothing I can see has gone bad or degraded in quality. It's nothing more than a cast aluminum case with a moving shaft w/blades attached to it.
