Default Problems w/ FAST intake and tb?

Have there been problems with the FAST 90 mm intake and tbs. I am thinking about getting the combo. What would be the best setup intake and tb wise. money is not an issue, well it is but i can wait to save up the necessary.

Thanks

Kyle

The only thing i would reccomend with the 90mm its not really worth it unless you have bigger cubes or a huge cam or something, from the mods in your sig i would suggest you get an ls6 or 78 mm lsx because it would probably be better fit to your mods

the 90 intake is great, but the design of the tb leaves something to be desired pieces of crap never want to idle. im getting a tpis tb more than likely

im going with the FAST 90mm when i get my heads put on in the summer. i already ordered the intake, but im going to hold out on the TB for a while. some people are having a problem with it sticking open a bit and causing high idles. FAST knows about the issues and they are making revisions. thats the last i heard. if you or anybody finds out anything more, i would like to know

If I was going to do a fast intake, I'd definately go with the TPIS TB.

I have used both FAST and TPIS 90mm. The TPIS is much better quality.

I've seen a couple H/C 346 cars see nice gains at the track with the 90mm LSx stuff.

The TPIS is a cable operated throttle body correct?
