Haven't used one but I once purchased one and was suprised by how good the quality was for the price. I haven't heard any negatives from any people that I know running them if that helps any.

I'm running one on my 94 Z28 with LE1 heads and cam,k works fine, don't even know it was there...At first it seemed like it would stick a little, but I think that was more the tune, went away after a little bit... For the price I would get it again for sure...

dude right now who cares where it is made, the economy is in the **** box and people are looking for a good reliable alternative, as long as the small children making my parts in china make them well im not so much opposed.

And btw, i am extremely proud to be an american.

Yes, they are made to "spec" in China for this Company and then assembled here in the U.S. by professional Products. Doesn't mean they are shi* though. Pretty much everything is brought over from there anymore. The shoes you are wearing right now...prob made in China.

so very true, i remember that was one of Nissan's little catch phrases is that the Titan is assembled all in the US while 99% of the parts are not made here. something like that im sure the numbers are a little off but same basic theory of parts being made somewhere else and assembled here.

Yeah I would like to think most of the stuff coming out of there is of decent quality unlike all the children toys made up of lead. I haven't gotten sick or died yet from the Throttle Body so I guess it's an ok product! Lol
