I am using a stock V8 TB on a 95 V6. I had heard somewhere that i might have too much air flow for this small of a motor. Is this true?

Nope...not at all. (Unless you decide on a 50mm or higher TB.)

The stock V8 TB's are around 47mm and the modified V6 TB's are around 46-46.5mm. The '98 V6 TB's are actually 42mm and when a 48mm was installed, the trucks performance was very noticeably increased.

I had went to Quick D's site. It showed the V6 to be 42 and 5.2 to be 50mm. I got the TB off a 94 318. some say it'd bog when i hit it from a stand still, which it does to a certain extent. Thanks for the info

The V6's came with whatever Dodge decided to put on that year V6. The '98 models use a 42mm, my '97 had a 46mm (from the factory) and a 48mm really wakes up the V6. (Flometrics Billet or just a stock V8 TB will be just fine.)

It won't bog unless you're installing a 50mm or larger TB on the V6 without any substantial modifications to the engine.
