Mike,
Get the Flometrics 50mm TB. It gained me a peak of 20RWHP more than a 48mm Billet TB. (This is ONLY for the Supercharged V6's.)
The gearing (3.90:1) is also perfect for daily driving and the weekend street/stip occasions.

Mike2 - I don't know what you have done to your engine but unless you have done other exhaust and intake mods and the TB is the last thing, you probably won't see much from it. I would put the 3.90 gears in first if I had that decision. I didn't cut a full tenth in the 1/4 when I changed the TB but cut .15 or better when I went from 3.55 to 3.90 gears. Good luck.

You'd be surprised what a modified TB does to a V6. (Factory bores are 42-44mm.) ;)

I change my vote for 2 reasons. (1) Bernd's information & (2) I'm stupid. I just reread your original post and realized I missed the word "supercharged". With that hair dryer, you need to open up the intake tract on that or any vehicle. New TB it is.

Mike,
You don't really "feel" anything up until 2500rpm. Then, it pulls HARD! :)
