Default tb and intake questions

i know ill proly get flamed for this but whats wrong with getting an ebay throttle body and intake? seems way cheaper i read somthing about heatsoak with the intake but the fast intakes look aluminum to? or are they not

i mean if they flow allot better then just an ls1 intake wouldnt it be worth getting them over an ls6 intake even?

It appears that the Qualifier is made by Speedmaster. Speedmaster appears to be a new name for Pro-Com p. Pro-Comp stuff is cheap off shore copies of American parts, and are subject to all sorts of problems. You get what you pay for (if you're lucky).

There's no room in my garage for parts like this.

Never buy cheap parts, they're too expensive.

Check the classified section on this forum. A lot of times there is barely used stuff at great prices. The more frequently you check the classifieds, the more likely you are to get a good deal on what you're looking for.
