i have a 01 ram 1500 360 with a k&n intake and a straight pipe. would it be worth it to get a throttle body? does it enhance the performance much?

318 or 5.2 which ever you want
It will help yes, but you will still be limited by the comp. I too have the K&N and will be doing the kegger fix and also moding the keg to take out center section and mill down runners a bit and have thought about the TB. But i am afraid I will run into same prob of not gettin as much out of it due to comp not allowing upgrades to work as well as they should.

a tuner is a better bang for the buck then a tb.

I installed a 50mm tb on my 99 5.2, and after puttin it on at first, i couldnt keep the truck at a steady speed. The throttle was very touchy and the throttle response had a very noticeable difference. I also have a CAI and a flowmaster exhaust too.
