Default Professional Pro TB vs BBK TB

In the market for a 70 mm throttle body and im just wondering if anyone has these brands, and what they think of them.

The PP tb is about 100 bucks cheaper, and moneys tight.

Any opinions?

Lots of people say bbks make a weird whistling noise.

They do, my friend has one. Sounds kinda like a turbo under normal acceleration.

I got a 70mm PP and I had no problems exept the whistling noice at idle,...not that bad, my exhaust covers most of the noise. BBKs do it too, the only difference that I had was that I saved money and went with the PPs. Although one guy in the past posted that something with his PP throttle body didnt align right due to the casting, he returned it to Summit for another one. Id say save some money towards something else and go PP.
