Post Throttle Body Question...

Other than aesthetics, are there any differences between the two throttle bodies that BABolt and JDM offer (mainly concerned with any performance or installation concerns)? Yesterday I ordered a whole bunch of stuff from JDM and shot BABolt an email seeing if I could get on that all important list, but have yet to get a response; if the Lightning engraved logo is the main difference, then I might give Jim a call back and have him throw a throttle body in along with it. From what I've gathered, throttle bodies don't bump up the hp/tq all that much, but it does make it more fun around town (which to me is more important than an extra 1/10th in the 1/4). Any or all input is appreciated. Thanks...

I don't know the price difference but, I have seen the billet alum. one that BA has and it's sweet! It may be the same size, not sure, but a whole lot better looking than the Ford product that JDM is selling.
