Re: new throttle body from summit?
All Summit does is buy parts from name brand manufactures and sells them under their name to drop prices. If they sell it with the name brand they are only legally allowed to sell them at a certain price.
For example, I bought a pair of headers for my Silverado that were sold as Summit brand headers. When they showed up they were in a Pace Setter box. They only cost $150. When I searched around for what they normally cost I found them for about $250 or more.
I bet that it is the BBK TB and they are just selling them for less. It will more than likely show up in a BBK box.

Besides, BBK sucks anyway.

Hard to beat that deal. If you have an airfoil from your 48mm he'll also match port that to 52mm for free.

He also sells some very nice throttle body plates (which is nice since MBA is out of business). Here are some pics of my TB and polished plate, installed.
