Id like to know the best AND cheapest, i know there not the same thing but somthing right in the middle would be awsome.
Ive heard nothing but good about the bbks and AS&M's but 500 is a bit steep for my taste.. any pros/cons of going with the stocker of an aftermarket brand?
and hey GUYS sorry for the poor grammar, i learn more on this site than i have in all my years in school

I bought a 52mm ported stock throttle body off a guy on fleabay. Was a good price, I think $125.00, and works well. I have had it on my car for over a year now. Unless you are going to 54 or 58mm, I think this was a good way to go.

engine build is in progress,
.020 over
forged flat top pistons
comp 292/300 cam
1.6 full rollers
LTs
true duals
heads milled .015 with fresh valvejob may go le1 heads soon
tune
possibly spraying a bit in the future.
I saw a ported stocker for 125 shipped on ebay with a $40 core refund if you send in your old unit so $85 isnt too bad
also summit is the profesional products throttle body
i definatly think i should stick to 52mm, or would the stock tb be fine for my build?

i put my 58mm PP on my car before i built the motor. on the stock motor it made a HUGE difference.
idk how everyone can say they don't make a difference... everyone i know that ACTUALLY HAS ONE says they noticed a big difference

93 is different because of tranny kickdown linkage where later years had electronic trannies.
The throttle response thing is because the bigger blades act as if the throttle is further open on the smaller TB.
No lowned loss because at the TB on these you do not need airspeed for fuel atomization or suspension.
