4.7 is a single huge blade, every other motor more resembles a 2 barrel carburetor.

If you have a 5.9 I would say superchips. Although they are $300+ you can probably ebay it for about $200 and they are the best bang for the buck.

I was going to put a 4.7 TB on my 3.7 but i got them side by side...

First they dont mount up the same
second the inlet diameter is the same so it would be pointless.

basically the one on the 3.7 is the best one you can put on it.

I think i had a thread about this on here somewhere maybe the one you are referring too.

hope this helped

So far all ive done is a cold air (used tubing and a cone filter from Azone about 100 bucks after it was done) but thats all. My brother has an 04 with the 4.7l quad cab 4x4 and my 3.7 pulls on him easily.
Glad I could help.
