Default best bang for the buck tb?

Christmas is right around the corner and lookin to get a new TB. Basically im just lookin for more power but which tb would that be? I'm cosidering bauer or a few others i've seen on the board here. Does speed inc. offer something comparable to bauer, its not on their site but maybe someone has one from them?

why not just get a ported stock TB
Jantzer Performance and many other sponsors sell them, and work great

You could even port your own.

i would say to just port your own, any of the big bore, hogged out TBs are gonna be useless unless you're pushing a big setup or boost or something of that affect.

Yea I was thinkin something like bauer or some other stock ported tb but i was just wonderin if anyone prefers one over the other. I've seen the other aftermarket tb's but their kinda pricy.
