Best TB, Edelbrock, BBK, or Holley???
I'm looking into Throttle Bodies for my upcoming engine build up. I'm building a 385 Super Rammed motor and am looking for a 58mm TB. I just want to know about experiences and opinions on these three or any others that are good. Thanks

I have the 58mm BBK and I have no problems with mine what so ever.
No whistles, excellent fit, bolt holes were perfect....

Holley, trust me!! It's billet and the air foil is CNC machined into the throttle body. If you are not going real radical on the motor, then get the 52mm Holley. If you are going to build something close to 500 ponies like me, then go with the 58mm. I bolted it to my stock motor and it did make a difference, but I would have gotten a better gain with the 52mm. I just didnt want to buy it twice, cause I had the new motor in mind, so I went with the 58mm. I know a bunch of people who didnt like the BBK/Edelbrock and besides, the BBK/Edelbrock is a cast aluminum TB. Go with the Holley!
