Message:
Anyone use one of these? They make some big claims and have a big pricetag(www.fastdodge.com) I'm interested in replacing my throttlebody on a 4.7l with something that can make more lowend torque and maybe better gas mileage.

I sell F&B TBs.. 4.7L billet, 68, 70 and 72mm... For most, the 70mm works the best overall. 30 day return policy.. Checkout www.flometrics.com or my website at www.socaldakota.com
Contact Bruce at 858-720-9225 re: any TB questions (he's the man, F&B)...

Jules (Magnum Performance) was the originator of the Magnum Throttle Bodies (years ago). While he doesn't build a bad product, they are over priced as compared to the Flometrics or Fastman TB's (for the 4.7L).
It depends on what you want: 68, 70, 72mm...and it depends on the application as well.

I tow a 20ft. SEADOO jetboat and need more lowend horsepower and torque. I live in the mountains above 4,000 feet and towing is no fun. What mods or products would you use to help this problem? Thanx.......TJ

I have a Magnum Performance TB , that I got before anyone else was making them .The TB is a work of art,good pull from any rpm .The TB was $500.00 and took 13 weeks to get. Service from Magnum Performance is very bad , but I don't like being lied to.He said he would ship it in about 2 weeks when it was ordered , called after 4 weeks and he said he would ship it next week ,I called 2 more times before it was shipped.

Tom-- for low end torque a lot of people seem to be having good results with the HO cams. If you have enough money, a twin screw supercharger will definetely give you more low end.

Magnum Performance Sucks!! I have one of their 4.7L TB's and I too was lied to. Took forever to get the TB even tough he charged my credit card the day I ordered it. Then it took me several phone calls and several weeks to get my core refund back after he received my stock one. There are too many other companies offering TB's now.
I got my TB back when I didn't know any better and actually believed the claims that Jules was throwing at me of at least 30 HP gains from his $600 TB. What a joke! Wish I had a computer back then and access to sites like this for real world input.
STAY AWAY FROM MAGNUM PERFORMANCE !!
