Default Cable Throttle bodies

Building and LS3, I know there are many different brands of throttle bodies out there some for 100 bucks on ebay from china up to a 500 dollar FAST. I would prefer a USA made one. Are there any differences big enough to justify which one is better? What size are yall running as well?

I have a 92mm Nick Williams one that I used on my turbo setup that is about $400, but I bought a $100 ebay 102mm one that looks just as good for my blower. Havent got to use the ebay one yet, but I am very impressed with it so far.

Heard the ebay ones are fairly inconsistent asfar as bore sizes and bearings on blade being of varying quality....i have one on my truck at moment and it seems to work for what its was...$50 used i cant complain!!!

sold it with my fast 102 intake as a package deal

it was a nice piece but as once stated its a throttle body, the 500$ fast does same exact job as the 120$ chinese one
