Default With all the Throttle Bodies on the market, which is best?

Well, I need to get a TB to finish up the bolt ons. Then my car is headed down to Eastside for a tune.

So which should I go with, a ported stock TB, or should I shoot for the MTI TB?

There's Jantzer, Bauer, TPIS, probably a few others.

I'm leaning towards the MTI at the moment, anyone with any oppinions/experience?

I personally like the Jantzer TB's. They come at a great price and look awesome, and you can choose your own colors, and he's a great guy to talk to.

There is also TB's by Speed Demon Motorsports, BBK, FAST.....probably more

Bah screw it, I just sent an email to Jantzer right as you replied. I've talked to him before, but I can't remember how much he charges.

I'm going to go with anodized red powdercoat, and the blinged out chrome option

If I recall it's under 200 bucks?

Thanks guys,
Rob

Just port your stock one and save your money for some other go fast goodies.

I have been very pleased with my Bauer TB, and his service is excellent.
