I don't have a new throttle body yet. I am leaning toward the F&B 48mm. It is about $400. I just like the quality of the design and it seems like I would be happy with it.

If that seems pricey, Fastman ported V6 TBs are going for $250 as long as you exchange your old TB. From what I hear, everyone is happy with them.

I have heard mixed feeling on using a V8 TB.

Definitely go with the F&B. They are VERY nice as far as power gains are concerned. The Fastman TB is alright, but you do have to send in your core, never know when you might need it again :) I sell both of them on my website, check it out.

I am running the F&B and its nice right off idle
to red line it flows good. more power over the
whole rpm range.

I am grabing cold air right off the hood with a
scoop and down a K&N 14x3 with and K&N Xstream
top, nice cold air outside air not through tubes
that can get hot. Very noticeable over 50mph
