Default Speed engineering Throttle Bodies

So I saw them and they’re super cheap. Is that what you’re getting or is it a decent piece?

I haven't used a china throttle body but what I've read it's a hit or miss. A lot of professional tuners will refuse to tune a vehicle with a cheap chinese tb. I do my own tuning and didn't want to waist time chasing my tail so Nick Williams was my tb choice YMMV.

Even the Holley Sniper TB is junk. The Holley Billet is probably fine.

For those who only need a 90, get the Edelbrock. Great piece of work, tunes relatively easy, and has a price. You'll love it. BTW it is US made.

Dont know if I'm too late but I own 3 of them two 92mm and one 102mm and they all work flawlessly since purchased, I just double check and tightening up the throttle plate screw and slap em on had a Warr Tb at first but it was giving me and tuner problems. Everything's been fine since I switched and I am DBC if that helps any.

My tuner turned me onto one of the Chinese knockoff 102tbody's and assured me he has had great luck with them on lots of cars. For $150 I don't have to be that impressed. has been on the car a week without issue and gets tuned this weekend. Fit and finish was really nice with a black anodized finish.
