Default Two "cheap" mods left 3.7L

OK I think I only have two cheaper mods left. Which to do first, Fastman throttle body or Efan? I know you guys had said the efan was 10-15hp, how much diff does the TB make hp wise. Been nosin around for about an hour and cant find the numbers...

Only "2" left, you own a truck {4x4} the mods are never finished, there's always something out there you just have to put on and every year there's something new.

performance muffler, power wire, colder plugs, colder thermostat.Cold air intake (gonna switch from spectre to KN filter to see if that makes a diff) The only other thing I think I can do for HP that is a cheaper mod is the efan and the throttle body. I had also thought about the jet chip but I had read it wasnt worth the $$. Which one gains more HP? I know I had read that the fan was 12-15, but I wasnt sure about the throttle body. The other mods for HP were going to be fairly expensive in comparison. If there is something I forgot, please feel free to chime in. Keep in mind its a 3.7

I just bought a fastman and LOVED the throttle response, the improved acceleration and wicked top end performance. A 71mm throttle body from f&b claims 10hp. I hope to get the TB back on my truck if I can figure out the problem, otherwise it will be sold to someone else

yours is a 3.7L with a superchips tuner? the 3865 supports the 3.7L? but anyway the E-fan from what blown has told is worth it. And it sounds like you've done alot! So i imagine you probably have a more modified engine wise 3rd gen V6 then alot of them on here! just go with te E-fan and do the TB at the same time! then you'll be feeling it!
