I noticed Professional Products throttle bodies (65, 70, & 75mm) in a Northern Auto Catalog for $140. I'm thinking about getting the 70mm one. Does anybody have one? If so, how do you like it?

supposedly they are pretty nice. i'm considering the 70mm unit for mine as well. stay away from their intake. the inside is rough as 60 grit sandpaper and has a ton of molding debris all over. complete crap.

I have heard both good and bad things about them. Obviously, the good part is the price, and the polished finish. I have heard about them whistling though, as well as problems with the female threads in the blind holes stripping out that the IAC valve bolts to.
You should also check the product reviews here on good ole' Stangnet.
The one thing that has pretty much steered me away from Professional Products is the fact that they are made in China or somewhere over there, and we hear about how Chinese companies make inferior quality knock-off products all the time, so that pretty much made my mind up about them. I'll gladly pay a little extra cash to keep American workers employed.

I have the 65mm unit and I had a problem with the TV cable not being able to fit up in the bushing on the throttle linkage. Replaced it with a 2 dollar piece from ford and problem solved. My TP sensor went out after about a year and Professional Products sent me one overnight for free. Great customer service...MeenGreenGT said:

I have the 70mm in mine. Nice product. The only pronlem I had was that the butterfly wouldn't close all the way so the shop that installed it put on a heavier spring (took it off a carb) & I had zero problems since.

get a accufab and be done with it...
don't mess with your throttle, ever have one stick on you?? Not fun....

WHAT?? I don't know about that, sorry but that sounds like a mac or a bbk, the accufabs have no problems....
, and the customer service is a joke.It whissled more then a upside down hooker in the wind. This is just my opinion and i will never buy one again. I've got the 70mm ProProd. It was great on stock motor with vortech SC trim, great on built short block with tfs stg1 cam, gt-40 heads, edel. perf intake, and 100 shot. But with built short block, tfs stg1 cam, tfs street intake, tfs track heat heads it wistles like a mofo. I guess there is no way to tell till you put your combo together what it's going to do. It still performs fine but the wistle on my latest combo will make your ears bleed.

I have had them all....I have a 75mm PPI on my race car and it even looks like the 70mm acufab that I replaced. They are all about the same. Why bother spending an extra $100.
