Default Summit's throttle body anygood?

A buddy of mine needs a new TB for his 89 Camaro, zz4, vortech supercharged, TPI setup as the original is almost 20years old and is starting to get hungup at idle, prob from bad bushings and what not? Curious if the TB made by Summit is any good since its fairly cheap?
Or are there any companies out there that can rebuild his stocker for a fair price?
TIA - Chris

My throttle body blades started getting hung up at idle so i sprayed them with a little graphite and they haven't gotten hung up once in around 2 years. (less than a year on the road, I'm in Canada)

I just looked at how long I have been a member. It has been more like 3 1/2 years since I sprayed the throttle body and no problems.
