Default BBK or Port my TB

I was curious to see what everyone thought. I was planning to get the BBK TB but I've heard that they aren't all that and that you're better off just getting a ported TB. What do you think. I would like some feedback from some that have the BBK.

port it yourself, save money for other mods
headers/cam/valvetrain being the bread-winners

Get the MTI one if you are considering the BBK. Its much nicer, and a better quality, and the same price.

Bauer TB for the price its the best and the BBK leaves alot to be desired in the quality. Like if you hold it up to the light you can see Light leak around the TB blade.

Go with the ported stock unit. I really like my 80mm BBK but the only reason I have it is because I go it off a wrecked car (someone parting out). Its too exspensive new and it does require some minor clean up (butterfly) to make it work (though once its done it REALLY works ).
