I have allways been told that you do not need one untill you go heads and cam....

But hear BBK is the best bang for the buck.

I voted other bc I have heard of a lot of problems with aftermarket tb's sticking. Some people's work fine, my holley 52 did not. Back to stock, i polished it up a bit first.

Do a search on yahoo or google about blades sticking for both bbk and holley. I read somewhere bbk had a problem with blades sticking at WOT, which scared me away.

Yeah sticking throttles are scary, it happend once in my beater sunbird, glad it was in a slow car and not the Z were the HP over powers the brakes...

Allways a good idea to spray the linkage down with a spray lube like WD-40 and all.

ive heard lots of negative remarks on the BBK, i went with the summit 58mm polished, for alot less and it looks to be built very nicely. havent installed it yet, waiting to put it on my new motorl.

I vote BBK, because you can use your stock badge plate and it still looks stock Unless you want to take pride in aftermarket aesthetics, then fire away for the Holley. Or go all out and get that so-and-so Marine (can't remember their full name) Mono Blade, and somehow get a custom plexiglass elbow made so you can see that bad **** open up heh Yea I'm totally talking out my **** for ideas now >_>

I have the BBK, I like it.
