i also agree with 86formula's post. spend it elsewhere. i switched to a 52mm holley and gained like .5 mph on average. not worth it. unless you can find a good deal.

If you have money to burn you will see a small gain in HP.

Only reason I have one is because it was on clearance. Cheap as hell, wouldn't have dropped the money otherwise.

If you have the extra cash (which the PP TB aren't much) I would throw one on since you have swapped in a different cam and have some head work. Every little thing counts so why not

although i didnt really gain much at the track, the PP TB really made my car nice to drive on the street. better throttle response and much crisper revs and takeoffs. which made it worth the money to me.

PP is made out of china, find something made in the US.

Yes, they made in China but they have also been reliable well performing Throttle Bodies. Take BBK TB for example, they are made in the U.S. and a ton of them have malfunctioned and performed like crap..plus they are big $$$.

Buy a Pro Products, you will be happy with the product. I myself ran one with no issues and I know of several other guys on here still running them with no issues.
