Default Which do you prefer?

I have a 97 WS6 with Le2 heads, cam and ported intake. I am needing to replace my stock throttle body with a 58mm. I was wonder which in your opinion is better, the BBK or the Holley. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a BBK and my Dad has a Holley. I think his looks better but I believe they both work equally as good. Neither one of us has any problems.

My pick would be the BBK just for the fact that I know of more people with BBK rather than Holley and hey, it's like 10 bucks cheaper. I'm goin with the BBK when i get heads and cam. As far as performance goes, I'm sure they are both pretty much the same. Unless someone else can chime in and say otherwise from experience.

Personally I want the Holley with the nitrous port built into it. But that thing is like $500 or something.

BBK has fewer issues.
