I have the Fastman 46mm TB, and I am very happy with the performance increase. It's also cheaper than the F&B!
I would go with either one, rather than a V8 TB swap.
Just my opinion.

Stock V6 TB is either a tapered 44-42mm/46-44mm.
Stock V8 TB is a tapered 50-48mm.
For a MILDLY modified V6 get the 46mm TB from Dan.
For a more aggressive set up get the 48mm TB from Sam.

So, what does everyone consider mild/aggressive? I have a K&N with Dynamax Super Turbo so far.

what you have is mild aggressive. You would be better off with the Fastman TB. The 48mm is for highly modified or supercharged V6's.

Well-- in some people's minds 48mm is too big.
But, the F&B 48mm is designed for the 3.9L from the ground up. The 48mm F&B works fine on stock 3.9L, semi modded, and more... Just shipped off 10 of them!
If you run a SC, F&B can do the 50mm in V6 trim.
30 day return policy on it--- They work.

Thanks for the good info. By the way, i'm new at this so forgive me; but, how difficult is the TB swap? For the F&B - any additionl parts required? For the 'fastman' what about all the addition machining that's been done, how will that affect installation?

With the F&B, complete installation instructions are included (with diagrams and pictures). Complete factory support (you got an issue, question, give them a call). F&B TBs come complete with all stainless mounting hardware, and a new TB gasket. You'll need a set of torx to get your stock TB off, a file or dremel to modify your stock airhat and a set of standard allen wrenches to install the F&B. I can do the swap in about 15 min... Give yourself an hour (including modifying the airhat)-- 100% new TB, bearings, F&B Billet TB body, blades, etc. 30 Day return policy (don't like it, return for a full refund)+ lifetime warranty.
Fastman TB is a reworked stock TB, and should install per what a stock TB would (with stock mounting hardware + shorter bolts for the TB -intake mount)

Sam, thanks. I think i'll give it a go if it ever stops raining. Since I use the truck daily and weekends for towing; the TB, K&N and exhaust should fill the bill.
