Default TB question

Are all 58mm throttle bodies the same? Looking on ebay at professional products, BBK and edelbrock, as well as holley. Are they all pretty much the same or is it worth it to drop the coin and go with one of the higher end ones. The PP one for $210 brand new is looking pretty appealing. Any experience here?

I have a BBK this is my second one and Im happy with it. Ive heard good things about the PP one but its made in china ! For the money you cant go wrong though.
I have heard Holley TBs have issues and dont know anything about the Edelbrock.\
Also I bought my 58 BBk for 240 on ebay brand new

I agree. BBK has been around since the early days of the LT1 and they have the bugs worked out of it.

BBK it is, and i think the bbk and edelbrock TBs are exactly the same. Could be wrong though
