Default OBX itbs VS TWM itbs

could anyone shed some light on the differences between these to itbs and what would be more wise to choose from ,
ive heard twm are better but ALOT more expensive , is there a reason for the dramatic price increase ?
ill be building my h22 to high comp using

je forged pistons 12.0.1
eagle rods
skunk 2 high comp valves
skunk 2 high comp springs and retainers
acl race bearings throughout
skunk 2 pro series 2 cams
skunk 2 tuner series cam gears
hondata s300

but now im stuck with what itbs to use , there is a £1000 difference between the two and im not made of money lol

as far as i know obx is a copy of todas so something like 46 or 48mm which im pretty sure would be waaaay too small for a h22.

twm comes in 50/52/54mm 2hich would be more suited. of course kinsler and jenvey would be better but i understand the price issue.

why are you running itb's?

itb's are not a power adder.

you will make more peak power with a proper manifold and tb.

now if you want throttle response and midrange, then sure.

well yea tbh the main reason will be to add a better throttle response , but im under the impression more power can be sourced? with a gd map etc, whils researching i found that an eldebrock victor x with a suited tb can foresee the saim gains ? , im hoping to see 250+hp , ive been told the build can reach up to 280 hp but im not looking to strech it that far just yet , my first priority is to build it properly and get it running nice with a sizeable amount of power then to take things further from there
