ARE THE PROFESSIONAL PRODUCTS T.B. GOOD OR ARE THEY ONE OF THOSE YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR (BEING THEY ARE CHEAPER THAN A BBK)

I did have to slightly modify mine when I installed it, but it looks way better than a BBK and it doesn't whistle like the BBKs do and it's obviously cheaper so to me it was easily worth it.

You should fix your keyboard first it would be a better investment...seems like the caps lock button is broken

There are some people here that got them and like them, but they had to fix them when they arrived. If you are into fixing your brand new car part and hoping that the rest of it is OK then go with it.

If all you need is a 65mm TB, then go with a Ford Racing piece (the one that ends with B50 in the part number). ANything bigger spend the money on an Edelbrock one.

Hit the Nail on the mo'fo'in HEAD. I run one but had to disassemble the blade to "deburr" it to keep it from sticking when it was snapped shut. Had to drill it to get the car to idle. Whistles like CRAZY as cruise. When I get the duckets, I'll be switching to an accufab.

I've had both on my car (originally a 65mm PP, now I have a 70mm BBK). Both made whistling noise. Both performed well without problems. I actually thought the PP looked better. This may be one of the lone exceptions of you get what you pay for adage.

Noone I've seen has had any REAL BAD problems with the TBs. I've only really heard of people haveing the sticking problem (on foxes) when the throttle snaps shut. In a boosted application, I don't know how well, I'd trust.
