Default BBK or Ported and Polished Stock Throttle Body

I have a 98 WS6 Formula with the typical bolt on upgrades(exhaust,intake,comp programming,gears, etc) including a dry nitrous kit.Is the BBK throttle body worth the extra money over something like a Thunder Racing ported and polished stock throttle body?Thanks for your help.

I liked my BBK, If you have the extra cash go for it but it is by no means worth the extra money.

I have the BBK on my 2000 ws6 istallation was easy and its been trouble free... with the ported n polished maf ends and a sealed ram air it has a bit of a high pitched whistle to it... stock with bolt ons it took my ws6 from 13.5's to 13.02@112 2.0 60ft but that could have been weather related also....

Yeah I picked up gains too but only about a tenth or so. The throttle response right off the bat seems better but overall I think unless you've got heads and cam the money is better spent elsewhere.
