Default Opinions - MTI Throttle Body?

What do you guys think of the MTI throttle body?

I have an 04 GTO with minor bolt on - head & cam won't go on until next year.

Right now just looking to squeeze out a few extra ponies.

Thanks

Steve

I would stick with a stock ported one unless you want the billet "bling factor". They both tend to make the same power and a stock ported unit is several hundred dollars cheaper.

Thanks Guys

With the stocker ported - would you go with something like a Shanner? Wondering about all that epoxy in throttle body.

Or say an LPE unit where they just port the basic unit?

All of the nicer ported TB guys make usually the same power increase, just pick one
