Are all TB's created equal?
Performance-wise.
I understand that some may be more valuable due to the material they are made from,
But should TB's of equal circumference/diameter perform the same at WOT?
If not, then would you expect the hp gains of one over the other to be minimal?
Your thoughts or experiences?

Unless you have SERIOUSLY modified your engine to dramatically increase its need for intake air, changing throttle bodies is like throwing a deck chair off the Titanic to stop it sinking .... they have no affect whatsoever.
If you have a monster cam, have bored the engine so it is a 427 instead of a 350 ... then a new throttle body will make a difference.
