my BBK is fine, not the best of the best, but not bad.

I'll give another vote for accufab, that's what Ill get once I go bigger.

Well, the first one they sent me was made wrong. They drilled one of the IAC bolt holes too far down causing tiny leak that couldnt see with the gasket on but it wasnt sealed, that was hard to find. Plus the thing whistled really bad. I got the replacement, the iac is right this time but it sticks and the butterfly is loose, and it whistles to top it off. I want to start from scratch.
