I dont see what would be bad about it. A throttle body is a throttle body. I'm running a Summit 58mm and have been for about 2 years now. Never any problems at all. I think I paid $250 new from summit.

I have a Polished 58MM from PP on my car and it has been run for a few thousand miles without an issues whatsoever. I highly recommend especially after forking out way more cash for a Holley only to have issues.

What's up with everyone buying knock off chinese parts? Stimulate our economy guys not China's. At least buy a used one made in the US. You can find them cheaper than what those cost anyways and throttle bodies don't wear out so mileage isn't really an issue. My preference but every little bit helps out.

It is still stimulating the US economy...some poor 8 year old chinese kid makes these for 37 cents an hour and then a US company sells them for 200 bucks. You win twice brother thats good biz

I guess you could say that.....nah just kidding. For one I don't like buying things made somewhere else, I know some things you just have to but I don't like doing it. Second. China doesn't sell them to us for 37 cent my man. So while you may be stimulating our economy a little, it's not as much as buying from a company in the states. Why do you think our car companies are down the pooper? We have a dang korean car (Kia) being the US car of the year and that's some crap. People buy foreign cars that are sold and and from what you're saying it's ok because we're getting some money from it but that's obviously not enough money or our car companies wouldn't be asking for bailaouts.

I understand economics and by some products being manufactured overseas we are sacrificing jobs that could be filled by american workers if it was made in the good ol U S of A, it was a joke my man.
