Default Throttle body recommendation

Hey y'all,
looking into intakes and throttle Bodies and was curious about information/reviews on throttle bodies.
​​​​​​been looking at Holley/Edelbrock ls1 Cath. Port intakes with the 90/92 mm throttle body.

But what throttle body? Are Edlebrocks and Holley $400 worth it?

Or can you use the Holley sniper or Summit brand ones $200 and still be okay?

No personal experience but, I see favorable reviews and good results from the
Warr TBs.

DO NOT USE A HOLLEY SNIPER, they are junk. Get a Warr off ebay instead or spend some extra for a Nick Williams TB

I have tried a Holley 92 and swapped it for a NW 92 that fixed an idling issue we had worked on with a tuner for a long time. Do a search on here for Holley throttle bodies. You’ll see plenty of reviews.

WARR Performance makes a nice cable 92mm TB and 102mm TB. You will need movethe stock sensors over to the WARR TB. Less than $150 typically with the powder coat of your choice. Less than $140 with the coating. Here's the one I picked up a two weeks ago. Blade fits well in the TB bore no gaps etc.

I bought the Holley throttle body. As stated above there are issues.
DO NOT even try to use Holleys piece of **** IAC valve but you have to get a machine shop to Port match the IAC port from your OEM throttle body. Now it works great and was easy to tune with the OEM IAC.
