Default who has the Best Bang 4 the Buck on T/B
i know theres tons of brands out there with big price tags.I'm in need of a 58mm T/B and I really dont feel like sending 400+ dollars but i dont want to get stuck with a T/B that whistles either! So lets here how much you paid for yours and input on it.
thanks

I'm using a Professional Products TB. It's a nice piece, not expensive either.

^That one looks like a good deal.

I'm running this one. No complaints here.

I ran a Holley initially after my heads/cam swap but sold it for my Professional Products. Couldn't get the Holley to cooperate with me.

Holley 58mm here. Can't beat the appearance. Didn't have a problem with the TPS either.
