My next mod will probably be a bigger throttle body (cant think of what else to do) and I can get a 70mm Professional Products one for $150 new. Does anybody know anything about their stuff?
Professional Products any good?

everyone that has their intake seems to be pretty happy with it. I'm also looking at picking up there 70 mm throttle body and egr spacer, any other opinions?

You get what you pay for, and your paying money to some commie that ripped off a tried and true american design. The intake isn't that bad but then again, all these products are new, I am wondering how they will hold up in the long run.
Id be sure and retap (run a tap in and clean up) the threads on the intake manifold before installing it. Other than that I cant complain it worked great for me. I paid $290 shipped and the next cheapest new intake i found new was a Trick Flow Street for around $410 shipped. I just paid $190 for a MAC TB and spacer it worked great for me also. PPs quality control isnt Edelbrock or Accufab level but its decent for the price.

My mom says thanks for the pearl necklace.
I replaced my BBK 70 with a PP 65mm quality is good, and polished items look pretty good. You get what you pay for but you have to be realistic about how much to spend. I recomend it over BBK and have had no issues with it or my intake. As for chasing the threads, the upper should never be torqued over 10ft lbs to the lower, so striping a thread should never be an issue.
I bought a 70mm PP TB last spring, the thing was the biggest piece of JUNK i have ever put on my car. The blade stuck everytime i came to a stop, sometimes it would be ok an it would idle great. Other times the idle would hang about 2500 an i'd have to jab the gas pedal so the blade would unstick. Alot of times it would stick when i would go to take off what a pita. I even sanded the blade down alittle an smoothed the TB itself an nothing worked. I would recommend not getting it. I have their typhoon intake an it is a great piece for the price i love it, you might get lucky though an get a decent working one. I ended up breaking the PP TB trying to get it to work right an tossing it in the trash an buying a broken 70mm edelbrock TB off someone for $5 an fixing it no more sticking throttle blade.
i have there typhoon intake.i've had it for a year now and no complaints except it sits rather close to the distributor.i just installed one of there sfi balancers on my car last night and it took some of the vibrations out of my car plus it revs alittle quicker too.i never used there tbs,i put an edelbrock 70mm on mine.i've heard some people complain and some praise it.it will depend on your budget more than anything.

i have a profesional products intake, on my 94 cobra that is turbo charged and made 469hp and 508 ft/lb at the rear wheels

Better keep an eye on that balancer, they are known to self destruct for no reason, usually taking the crank bearings with them. Not just the Ford # either, Chevy and Olds guys have seen the same problems.
Saving money is one thing, but cheap Chinese imports that are knock offs of American designed products is bad for everyone. The Chinese dont engineer this stuff, they just copy it, and do a poor job at that.

I had that problem with my Cobra intake, the very front upper to lower bolt wouldn't thread, it acted like it wanted to start, but then it would just spin. What did you do to get past that?
I have a P.P. 70 MM TB on my LX, I had that same problem with the throttle blade sticking and the idle being kinda rough. All I did was adjust the idle screw some more and it was fixed havent had any problems since. 
other than that I think they aren't that bad TB they seem no different than other TB's I have seen.

I tried that too, yeah it fixed it if i wanted the idle to be 1500rpm all the time
