Do it! I did mine a few months back, and I think it's been worth it. Mine came off a 97 or something Ram with a 360. It definitely kicks more up top, and the bottom end is about the same as it was, if not a little better. However, I did use a dremmel to open up the bores in the intake manifold. If you do this, stick some cloth or something down the bores to be sure no metal shavings get into the chamber.

Alright I'll make a before/after vid to be the determining factor

Yeah mine was only like 35 bucks on ebay anyways, so I would say it was well worth it. I forgot to say that depending on your exhaust and air intake setup (I've got a magnaflow with a drop in K&N knockoff along with something like this, scroll down for pictures: https://dodgeforum.com/forum/1st-gen...ram-air-3.html), you may notice a slightly different sound. When I put my V8 tb on and fired it up, that's the first thing I noticed. I never even thought of making a before/after vid. Too late for the before vid. Let us know how it turns out.

In my opinion? Yes it has slightly better sound with the V8 tb.
