Accufab makes VERY good products. From what I hear, one of the best TB's you can buy. Thats def what I plan on running.

I really want to go with Accufab too but not sure on the polished TB. I might either go all powdercoated with my parts or polishing... depends. If I go with powdercoating I dont want to just have one bling a$$ TB in my motor bay lol

Both of those are good products. Its just that the BBK TB's tend to have a loud whistle.

Check out my 88 GT. Yes, it was a BBK TB
