... A few nights ago while I was making my top speed runs we heard a slight tink on one run, we check it out and never could find out what it was, well this morning I was driving in and it seemed like the further I drove the higher the idle was. When I got to work it was at about 1250 and holding. I look at the TB and one of the tps bolts was gone??? After about 15 min I spotted it when I screwed it in it just free spinns, I guess I over tighted it when adjusting the tps. I just tapped it and put a new bolt in it....

if you got it retapped, that should be just fine. it uses 5mm x .8 pitch bolts. i wish Dodge would think of making the TPS bolt holes bigger, becuase the 5mm bolts only can take a slight torque.
there is plenty of room for you to retap it like you did.
