I have a 2016 Sport with the 5.7. I bought a 87 mm throttle body and installed it this past weekend. Im not noticing much of a change or difference. What should i be seeing? Only thing that has been done to the truck mod wise is that it has the Mopar CAI. Everything drive train wise is the same.

Thanks in advance.

An intake and throttle most likely won't net you any noticeable power gains. What the throttle is good for is more modified motors with full bolt ons to allow the engine to breath easier. Headers and full exhaust with a tune on top of the intake and throttle body and maybe even a 180 stat

Usually you will notice improved throttle response and mid range response.

Even without a tune or further modifications the ported TB should improve your throttle response slightly (not as good as the Pedal Commander, but still noticeable) and you might gain 0.5 mpg that's about it.
I removed and sold mine after installing the Pedal Commander.
(Had to adjust the PC from "Sport -2" to "Sport -1" to keep the same throttle response with the stock TB.)

Had one on my challenger and sold it. It did absolutely nothing for me. The stock tb is all you need unless you srtoke the engine and installa larger cam, headers. Etc.
Like the old days of installing a 900 cfm holley on a stock 340.

Have it on my 2015 and not sure how much it is helping. Didn't do a before and after test as I have quite a few mods on it. I am sure at mid and highs it breaths better though.
