Most of the sites I have been to want $125+. Then you must send yours to them or pay a core charge. For $170.oo I get a brand new one and no core charge. The holes were not filled or drilled but I can do that myself. Now I have a spare TB to play with.
I agree with you guy about SLP. However, for the price you really can't beat it.

SLP is a sponsor, BTW.

that throttle body doesnt have **** done to it really, just slp on top and a small port job. you can do that by hand in an hour or 2 even if its your first time. you get that and you pretty much get a stock tb with 30 bucks of work. i did that to my old one and then some and sold it for 35 bucks and got the guys old one. i really wish noone would waste their time with slp. they make it sound like they are the ultimate aftermarket modding place and all they do is stupid things to stock pieces. take for example their panhard bar. they take a factory piece, prob just one that was over produced and they got from gm, and put a piece of steel on the back and paint it and then sell it for way too much.

My brother got one, I tried to tell him not to but he likes to waste money. I had an extra TB so there wouldn't have even been any down time. It looks like they just painted the outside because in the cracks I can see where paint is flaking off

i dont see what he big deal with the slp tb is, a ported tb is a ported tb, but for being able to just get the tb with out a core charge, makes it a lot easier, most likely i will get the slp in the summer and i will be able to screw around my stock tb...

Tha SLP TB is OK, its a new TB that has been CNCed. I have had a couple sent to me in the past to touch up. I guess Im gonna have to listen to everyone that has asked for a comeback tour
