This is what I have learned about the TB's.
For the $, the fastman ported is a good start.
www.thefastman.com
The F&B is supposed to flow a little better but costs about $200 more and looks better.

I got the fastman. Its on my stock engine (not even a cold air intake) and i can see noticable gains from it.

I have an '01 5.9 R/T and I got the 52mm from Fastman. You wont be disappointed. When you compair the two side by side in real time, you will be amazed at the crappy stock one. Dont worry about the 52 being to big or causing lag or soft spots, its spot on all the time. I have mine on the stock intake and it performs admirably. I am very happy.

I too have the fastman TB. Just put it on two days ago and am so far pleased. Dan will also give you $20 or so dollars off if you mention the "special pricing for the boards" when you order.

I took pictures of my stock one compared to the fastman.
I also used a caliper to measure the diameter of the ports. I took a picture so that the difference can be seen.
I'll have to get them up on my site.
