Yep, Thanks to DakotaUSA, I'll have a set of the JBA's on loan for the Chrysler Nationals in Carlisle, and that means they'll be in the Dyno "Shootout" from Mopar Muscle Magazine! (Hopefully some magazine coverage, again) I should have the F&B TB by then as well.

Bernd, need a recomendation, as you know I have a good baseline dyno, as is, now I will have headers and the TB to bolt on, however, I really don't want to bolt both on at the same time, for dyno purposes. So, with that in mind, this is what I'm planning to do, Bolt on the headers and the F&B TB ASAP, then once I arrive at the show, put my Hughes Engines 68mm TB back on to dyno the Headers, then bolt the F&B TB back on and pull again. What are your suggections??? anybody???

Thanks, Matt

Confirmed with JBA...yes, they DO fit the 2001 models. They are available,
$470 for ceramic coated ($360 for standard) and the turn around time is
approximately 3-5 days on standard version and 7-10 days for the ceramic coated.
