Alright my JG friends. Here is the story.
Since TB ported and polished became a very popular subject here at JG, I decided to do some research about it. Needless to say it is a MUST DO MOD, especially 3.7s with not much out there for us. During my research, I came across the name Fastman in almost every search I did with very positive feed backs. I decided to order one. They are $230 before the core exchange program (-$40). Then, Irf called me asking if I want his Ryan's TB for an amazing reduced price, because he got the wrong one. Great! I thought would be a good opportunity to compare, test and most importantly, I'd be able to give JG a great and thorough review.
As you can see on the pics below, Ryan's TB had a wider opening than Fastman. But on the other hand, Fastman has much more smoother and polished finish to it, and also has a thinner profile throttle valve... and the stock.. Well, it's just crap!
First, I installed Ryan's and drove for about an hour, from Brooklyn NY to NJ. Then I installed the Fastman. Honestly, I couldn't tell the difference between the two, except Ryan's maybe a little louder. But as far as performance, I could definitely feel the difference between any of the two, compared to stock. The Jeep seems much quicker, from 0 to 60, I think I lost a full sec. From 40 to 80, WOW! amazing. It is definitely a mod I recommend. Either one, Ryan's or Fastman are both awesome. It really depends on your budget. ... Go get one! :thumbsup:
installation is easy and quick. You will need a flat screw driver and a Hex 8mm or 3/8" socket. that's all.
Additional mods during test.
• K&N 63 Series Air Charger Intake Kit.
• Stock exhaust.
• Power Wire from AIR RAM.
Cheers.
