Default Throttle body selection for LS turbo

Any recommendations of a TB for a mildly ported LS engine with some high lift short duration cams that should be seeing about 300whp?

That's strange. You should have called us we have 100% customer satisfaction if there is a problem we will try our best to fix it regardless of the problem. I am curious we try to have quality control on all of our parts but sometimes things slip through the cracks. We have sold over 3,000 Throttle Bodies and you are the third person I have heard tell me it sticks the other two made a simple phone call to our shop and we gladly returned their old ones and replaced them with brand new ones. I havent heard a bad thing back from them one called back and said it worked without a hitch. Maybe you should have tried to call us first instead of coming on here badgering the product. Every car in the world isn't perfect there are defects in those, every house, every evrything it is just a matter of how you handle the situation. You can still give us a call and I will still try to help you out. You say it sticks I will remedy the situation.
We do always recommend you do get these products installed by a professional, it eases the headaches the may arise when you're not sure of a proper install.
