Recommend a 70mm TB for my daily driver

[68keyblr]

I'm looking for a cost-effective (read:cheap) throttle body for my daily driver 331 powered '88 GT.

I don't want chinese made crap if I can avoid it, but I don't have $300 for an accufab either...any suggestions on good TBs at a decent price?

Tks

65mm explorer TB can be had for real cheap at the JY. it may hold you over until you can afford a larger american made piece......

that or hit the classifieds

I have a Accufab 70mm TB and EGR Spacer sitting in a box. Could use a polishing.(NOT SCRATCHED OR PITTED JUST DULL) I bought it new from Accufab. Ill sell it for $200 Or trade for something.

or buy the accufab the guy has above, I have that in my 91 works great, also had luck with a BBK

i dotn see why everyone is always giving pro products and the like so much hell for. i had a PP throttle body and ran it for about 2 years and had no problems at all.

ive also ran a summit brand TB and it was a nice piece.

Is the Edelbrock/BBK TB made in China now? People never seem to have problems with those, except for the whistle which is an easy fix.

Dont be to quick to put down the Professional Products TB, good quality for the price. Be smart dont spend more than you have too. Had mine for about 3 years no probs what so over.

I dont have one myself but from what I read, the BBK TB has an edged corner in or around the IAC area and the turbulent air cuts against the edge and makes the famous whistle. I have a pic of a stocker, take your IAC off and see whats different and dremel it.

Its the Famous BBK Whistle!!!! You roll up to a car show and they say "Is that a Supercharger or a BBK" Its a Trademark Whistle!!!

I don't know if its true or not, but I heard rumors that the PP 5.0 products were actually made by FRP and were just re-labeled..... like I said, that's just what I've heard from numerous people.... if its true, then I don't see a problem using a PP TB... I have their 70mm TB and EGR Spacer.... paid like $150 for them both new and haven't had a problem with them.
