My vote goes to Accufab. BBK's old problems with the blade screws falling out and down into the engine scared me off for life from running their's. This was YEARS ago though so I'd hope this is no longer a problem.

Accufab. However both of those look like crap to be honest...like someone put them thru a sandblaster or something. My squeal was caused by the wrong gasket. It may be the same problem with bbk's ..incorrectly manufactured or matched gaskets.

The accufab is a better unit.

BUT. If you picked all that stuff up to resell it, you won't get much for the BBK but the accufab will hold its value.

I wish Accufab made a throttle body for the '94-'95 cars.

This is an easy decision as you can see by people's responses. I agree!!!!

Unless you want EGR I hope you aren't running that spacer on there. If you want a nice EGR delete plate let me know as I sell them on Ebay and Corral. I have both 3/8" thick and 1" billet spacers with 75mm or 90mm bores (can do custom ones as well).

I won't go to the trouble to say which I think is better

One does cost a bit more than the other

Most of the time in life ...

Quality things require more of an investment than average things
