Anyone run this 80mm throttle body?
Saw this tb and it's a pretty good price. A buddy of mine told me it's pretty close to the bbk and it may be a bbk without the name on it. I'm about to order it but just wanted to get some final impute before ordering. What do you guys think? And should I get it with a 80 or 85 mm opening for down the road upgrades? Either way comes with the transition plate.

it this weekend on my LS6 manifold. I dremeled out the lip that holds the stock O-ring and reinstalled. I'm just getting ready to scan and datalog to see
how much to rescale the injectors.

I just got an 85mm and did not have to extend the throttle cable. I was worried about idle issues with a "cheap" aftermarket TB but have had no problems thus far. I probably didn't gain much over the ported TB that I had before but I got it for cheap and will help when I get a new manifold.

There are a few of the sponcers that sell them. You can also get them on ebay. I have a bbk 80mm if any one is interested I am fixing to go bigger when I change intakes. It has been polished on the outside and looks awesome.

Looks identical to the Summit brand one also. I got the 85mm and ported and polished it (Same procedure as stock, why they cast a new TB with the same bump is beyopnd me).
