Best throttle body?

Post by Therealjj91 » Tue Apr 05, 2016 12:34 pm

I want to upgrade from my 62mm throttle body to a 68mm and get it port matched to the intake, then intake to head but what make is best? I've heard the skunk2 ones stick? And have seen other makes like Blox and blackworks but haven't seen many reviews?

From what i have read recently with my build going on I'll be getting the professional products 68mm Type R throttle body.

From multiple reveiws i read, this is the only one that doesn't stick. Apparently a lot of the skunk 2 and blox from what i have read tend to stick a lot.

Here is the link to the TB:
