I have the Fastman 52mm. Better throttle response, no noticable HP/TQ gain/loss

i had the Hughes Big Gulp on my ram, which is even bigger than the 52mm and i coupled it with the FI Airgap, and omg... but i did it all at once, so i couldnt say how much just the TB helped. but it did sure whistle like a ****.

It will depend a lot on what other mods if any you have done.

The Fastman 52mm is the way to go on a stock or lightly modified truck.
