I too have heard bad things about BBK. Funny thing though, mine has performed flawlessly for the five years I've owned my car.
Cost from Eckler's was a bit over $300 back then.

I've also heard bad things about BBKs and throttle sticking problems. Another company to consider is Arizona Speed & Marine - I hear that they make a *very* nice piece. A final option is sending your TB to a guy named Dave (and I think his last name is Koldos?) - VERY good reputation here on the forum - and he'll bore your OEM unit out to 52mm and polish it up. That's the route I'll be going, as I've yet to hear one negative thing about it. Plus, from the outside it looks stock, and that's a big plus for me in Kalifornia.

im actually looking at the Holley N.O.S. throttle body. does anyone have one of these? Holley is who makes N.O.S. and they are both good companies that make good products. I am thinking i might want to add nitrous in the future so this seems like an obvious way to go
