Default Good throttle bodies

Any of you guys have any preferences for a good performance throttle body? Basically all i really care about is performance, so i guess the best would be the one which is the most free-flowing, right?? Ive got a crx si, so it would obviously have to fit that.. thanks guys

If you have a stock CRX Si D16 I wouldn't bother spending $300+ on an aftermarket TB... Save for a swap.

what are you upgrades?

i mean if you have a stock head and intake manifold it wouldn't make much sense to get a better flowing throttle body because it would be restricted by the rest...now if everything else is ported or aftermarket then you need your large throttle body.

well, actually, i have no upgrades yet- only the tb isnt very smooth- ive cleaned it out, but i figured that my accelerator pedal would be much smoother of i just went ahead and got a nice clean, new, tb. but i am planning on puting on h/i/e plus some nitrous, and eventually a turbo

not to sound like a dick...but when someone asks for aftermarket parts for these cars everyone just tells them more stock newer parts...i just never understood that...

sometimes stock is better, like in this case, the h22 tb is 60mm or 62mm if you get it from a 5th gen dohc vtec. the intake mani is gonna flow alot better then the current stock one, and both can be had for alot cheaper then an aftermarket 62mm throttle body itself

with stock tb's especially you can have the same opening as aftermarket for half the cost...why not save money in every aspect you can?
