Re: Need Answer Quick!!! Which Throttle Body (Hammer)
I'd either get a Holley($400), have your stock one ported to 52mm from someone like Ligenfelter or TPIS($275 +/-), or get a 54mm from Arizona Marine and Speed(sp?). Skip the Edelbrock BBK. To many people complaining about the low quality and stuck butterfly blades.

I really like the Arizona 54mm billet, but is it too much for a heads/cam?
The window switch activates the nitrous within a "window" of RPM's. On @ 3,000 and off @ 5,200 RPM's.
Keeps it from kicking on too early and damaging parts and keeps me from spraying when I bounce it off the rev limiter ;)

I have the Holley 58 and it beats the pants off my old BBK 52mm as far as quality and appearance. I would suggest going with the Holley 52mm.

Hammer-
Definately go with the Arizona Speed and Marine!!!
They go all out on their TB's. IMO, they are better made than even the Accel's (lingenfelter). I am going with either the 54 or 58mm for my stroker when the time comes. Give them a call and they will be able to tell you whether the 54mm is justified for your setup. :cheers:
