should you really grind down a V8 TB that will be going on a V6??? i
thought that would slow down the air too much, and lose the effect that you
are going after. shouldn't you just remove the V6 TB and replace it with a
stock (unmodified) V8 TB?

Hey, Chris.
<snip> What type of bit did people use to grind down the edges. I have found some disks that cut extremely well, but don't do as good cleaning the last 1/8 to 1/16th off.<snip>
Unless you've got a REALLY steady hand, I wouldn't use a Dremel to remove any more than you have. You TB is made from Aluminum Alloy & is quite soft. One slip & you mught end up with scrap. I'd suggest using a very fine toothed mill file to smooth the remainder. Hold the TB in a vise with protected (wood - leather) or soft jaws (brass - aluminum) and just file slowly & evenly in one direction til you get a blend... HTH,
