The best ones are the AS&M or the Accel/Lingenfelter. Did you have the throttle bores opened up in the manifold?

I'm going to have the intake ported by Lloyd. I would love to get one of those asm units but they just seem too damn expensive.

Keep your eye out for a used TB. Good ones come up for sale from time to time. I bought my 52mm Holley locally for next to nothing. I am very happy with it. Just had to slot the Thottle position sensor a wee bit to get the voltage in spec. No problems at all.

Don't do a TPIS. Mine would stick until I shaved the blades.

You're not going to get universal agreement on which one to buy, each guy having his own preference. For three years I've been running a BBK 58 mm without any issue.

I have an aversion to the Summit brands. My gut tells me they're somewhat sub-standard, perhaps 2nd's? I don't have anything concrete to support that feeling, I just have it. Over the years I've learned not to ignore my gut feelings.

Just my views.
