Default 58MM T.B. Suggestions

I have a new Professional Products 52mm T.B. I was going to run with my LE2 package but now I'm in the market for a 58mm and was curious to know how the summit and/or the BBK T.B. were quality wise?? Looking for suggestions on which brand to go with.

Not too sure about which one is best...the BBK name seems to pop up a lot. Ebay had some pretty cheap 58mills...you may want to check those out.

I'd probaly grab another Professional Products. I have been clued by a Summit rep that the throttle body under their name is made by another manufacturer. I can't reveal who but I may have already mentioned their name . I've had also heard mostly good from the BBK just don't get a Holley.

I have heard not-good things about Holley. Know nothing about PP or Summit. I bought a BBK for my new engine. They have been around since the beginning of LT1s and should be pretty mature by now.
