I have a line on a NiB Fastman 68.5mm throttle body for my 287. Is installation "rocket surgery," or is it 'shadetree' do-able (not that trees will be shading around HERE anytime SOON...)?
Is it a simple bolt-on, or are there other parts & pieces required, beyond the throttlebody itself? Thanks!
Easy bolt on. Nothing to it at all.
I had a mechanic tell me today, that only the Jeep/Chrysler/Dodge dealer can install it, because you've got to flash the ECU or some such, and Superchips won't cut it! :eek:Quote:

Well considering I've had my TB off to clean it in the past and bolted it right back on without any issues I would have to say it's an old mechanics tale.
I'd call it a "bad mechanics tale". It's bolt on and doesn't require programming. The FSM doesn't even mention ECU programming.Quote:

Yea, to be safe I always removed negative cable from battery. I do this really any time Im working on the car unless needed otherwise...
OK - the throttlebody has arrived, so here's my NEXT question. Intake spacers: horsepower hokum, or the REAL deal?
I've read opinions pro & con, but I figure while I'm at it, now's the time to put one on... if it's WORTH it.
Just my .02
They are garbage! Don't waste your money
I just got the same advice about my RC on RC.net - seems they don't do anything for MPFI engines. So "NO" it is!Quote:
