Which of these throttle bodies is better? the one from pfyc.com which is 62mm or the one from donkey punch performance which says:

Stock throttle body that has material removed in the "bowl" to streamline airflow into the intake. Inlet side of the throttle body has a knife edge to the outer edges of the lip. This provides smoother flow into the throttle body. Then the entire throttle body is polished to a smooth finish. Item retains stock bore/plate of 56mm.

i understand about half of that, but will the gains still be noticable or for the price make it more worth it then pfyc? (which im thinking it would be, but input would be great!)

what im running incase you dont know is a stock 3.4 with a dr.speed stage 3 cai, and a 3/4 inch throttle body spacer...

pfyc:
This Throttle Body is 62mm right through and comes with a new CNC 62mm diameter throttle plate. Easy bolt-on installation for gains upwards of 10+ HP. Select your engine size from the box below.

The one from pfyc.com is made by RSM. DPP's is a stock sized unit that's polished and had the transition from the funnel to the bore of the TB smoothed out.

The RSM one is aimed at people who have cyl. head/intake manifold port work done. The gains listed with it are likely attainable only if you've had such porting work done already. Overall, I'd wager that the 62mm one is the way to go for the biggest power increase of the two.

There are 2 other throttlebody options out there. The billet 65mm one made by domesticperformance.com; if you can afford the $400+core (before options). And there's the no-longer made FDP billet 62mm TB's floating around.

Yeah I'd say the 62mm one is the best bet
