What's the best 52mm Throttle Body to buy??
I'm thinking about possibly upgrading my throttle body to a 52mm for my 383 TPI project!! What would be the best one to go with! I don't like the reputation of Holley (personal preference) so I'm pretty sure that ones out!! I was looking in my NextGenParts catalog and saw the Accel/Lingenfelter TB but they only had the 58mm listed....is this the only one they make?? I'm leaning towards Edelbrock for my TB!! Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Soon to upgrade to a 383 stroker w/TPI, Hedman Shorty Headers, 64cc Pocket Ported Worlds Product Sportsman-II heads, ported intake, comp cam, TPIS air foil, Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator, and 24 lb/hr SVO injectors!
Current project: Keeping my car running until I get the money for the above mentioned project! :-)

I have the Edelbrock 52mm sitting in my room, and it looks really nice. I have also seen the Holley 52mm which looks even nicer. However, I got the Edelbrock one for a really good price, and I'm pretty sure that the Edelbrock is normally cheaper than the Holley TB.
If you do get the Edelbrock TB, double check the TB gasket that it comes with. Mine came with a 48mm gasket!
