52 MM Throttle Body
First of all, hey C4 guys! I'm over here to look for a part for my older brother.
What's the best 52MM Throttle body out there?
I need to find a used or new 52MM Throttle Body for a 1994 Corvette.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I feel that the holley is the best looking and quality piece for the money. ASM i think for their 52mm uses a stock core and punches it out to 52mm but is the cats meow for 58mm piece!
good luck, i have a BBK 52mm and would have liked to have seen a finish similar to the holley!

Holley is a billet unit and looks really nice, but you will pay much more for it. LPE quoted me somewhere around 425. I got my bbk for 300 from a local speed shop. I had troubles with my bbk leaking from the bottom side. But I fixed by bypassing it. Now, No leaks and a much cooler plenum! If cost is an issue BBK if quality and looks is what your after....holley :cool:

I just bought the BBK and after seeing it, I wish I had gotten the Holley. The crafsmanship is just very rough around the edges. The Holley is only 40-50 bucks more.
