Default ebay 78mm throttle body?

Has anybody had any experience with the 78mm throttle body for sale in ebay? It is slightly bigger than the stock 75mm unit and is half-shafted as well to remove that restriction. I screwed up my stock tb and figure that this has to be at least as good as a ported stock unit and it's less than $200. It seems like it might be a decent upgrade to someone like me with a ls-6 intake and full bolt ons that will have a moderate cam down the road.

Anyone have any input?

I would think that they have to be at least as good as a ported stock throttle body....unless they are very poorly made?
