Default do DH racing throttle bodies still suck???

I read some old post that date 4 years back that flame Dave hickman and his products. its now 2007 and i noticed thats hes still around. so now im wondering if his products, mainly his 70mm to 80mm throttle bodies, have improved or are they still trash???

SO would it be safe to use one these tb? I mean I read some things about these tb's sticking. Does these still happen? I'm mostly interested in the 80mm.

i'm not sure about his throttle bodies. but I do know i have a professional products throttle body, in 65mm... when i first got it. the throttle was sticking a little bit, i kept on using it, shortly it went away, and know it has no problems sticking anymore, but as far as his products go, it seems like he has real good stuff, i'd say...
