Smile New TB?

Was just wondering if anybody has tried out the 90mm TB? I have been looking at this thing for a while but not sure if its worth the $500 bucks just for an extra 10whp. So far i have an AEM brute force CAI, TB spacer, bully dog prog, edelbrock shorty headers (which i freakin love), and completely new 3.5" exhaust piping dumping just behind the cab. This is a 06 single cab with the hemi and 3.92"s. If you guys can think of a better mod for 500 bucks im open to any suggestion except for the cam. Im saving that for the stroker kit.

Here is a link to my ride. I didnt feel like posting them all. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2503439

i did a study a couple years ago (2006) and based on HP claims made by the factory dyno's and cost, it seemed to average between $35-$37 per whp. Now like i said that was in 2006. I did it for a high school project and got a B. Teacher was an a$$. So since inflation and all has gone up i figured tuning is gonna go up too...

I wouldn't go anything over 85mm on a stock engine, 90mm would be great if you had a huge cam to make up for it.

Check out http://www.thefastman.com/ I have one of his on mine, 85mm, and there is a definite gain right off the start. $237 was the cost of mine with a $100 rebate if you send your stocker back to him.

I think 84-85mm is max for a stock TB body.
$300 or abouts

Go to www.thefastman.com His are $237 w/ a $100 core charge. If you send in your stock TB its $137.

ANYTHING over $250 is TO MUCH $$$.

Also with a 90mm TB with a stock engine (no cam / heads) there really is no point of doing this, the 85mm is MAX you should need to go.
