If you have too much trouble and just can't find them. You can always drill and HELI-COIL them to a size you do know.

Hey Dude - any chance you'll be in the Boca area anytime soon? My company has a small machine shop, and a nice 'wall-o-screws' assortment,,,standard/metric,,,you name it.

Bit of a drive, I know. Assuming we have plenty of what you need I'd just swipe'm for ya,,,,,,at the very least you'll know what size it is.

Thanks man but I found the screws today. They ended up being standard #10x32. I know I'm an idiot but I swear I tried that size and it didn't fit before.:huh: But I must have not. But that is not the end of it, when I got the TB on and was putting my other TB back in the box I saw a paper in the bottom of the box under the packing material. It was instructions for the TB and a baggies of the right screws*facepalm*. So atleast I got it done but the damn things were there the whole time.

To late, I already sent of the Fastman to someone else. But man I do love this thing and I know you are looking for one, and trust me when I say you will like it. It added power across the band and improved throttle response.:woot: Also makes the CAI make a nice big wooshing sound.:D

Ah damn you know what I just thought about I had to cut my intake tube about 3 inches shorter for it to work, so I can't go back to a stock TB it is to short. This F&B is a monster compared to the stock TB. The opening is 4 inches wide and the TB is like at least 2 inches inches deeper.

It is nice, I couldn't believe how big it was when I took it out of the box. I put a baseball in there to take a pic so you can get an idea of how big it is.

I probably could have fit a softball int the opening of it.

I already have a 70mm Fastman. I don't know if I want to spend that much more money for the F&B

LOL... thats awsome! That is HUGE!!! I think that teamed up with our sullivan intake will equate to some great gains up top.

You know I thought the same thing but when I thought about it there is no venturi at all on the Fastman TB because he can only make the opening of the TB as big as the stock one. Now I know that isn't anywhere near important on are fuel injected motors as it is on a carbed motor but it still makes a difference on the air velocity coming in. Now i'm not gonna say that the Dan (Fastman) doesn't make a great product because he does but there is only so much that you can do with the stock TB. Speaking from personal experience because I had both on my motor but the F&B wins hands down. I know that this TB is bigger than the Fastman one that I had but I would still say that it is gonna net me more gains than a Fastman 70mm TB would have. I thought with this TB because it was bigger I would lose some power down low but I gained some for sure along with the power up top and some amazing throttle response. All in all I am extremely happy with this TB and the performance gains it has netted me. I would have loved to have gone to the track and swapped them around and seen the difference in times but I couldn't do that because someone bought the Fastman one before I could try that. But your right price wise the Fastman is a better buy BUT if you want to go fast it costs money.:D

Oh yeah and it is definitely nice and shiny in the engine bay, it goes well with the 77 series K&N intake that I have.
