Default Rapid Motorsports will be Offering NW 90mm TB's

I spoke with Nick this week. Nice guy. He is sending me a throttle body to test on our 553rwhp LS2. I'll post the results and pricing when the evaluation is finished.

No. This is designed to take the place of the POS FAST 90mm TB.

Hey Mike -

The NW TB on my vette seems to be working great.

Only problem is the $200 core charge I got slapped with.

Pretty sure there is no core charge on the NW TB since it's completely machined from scratch. TPIS has a core. Others can verify though..

This is true. No core charge.

"These will be complete less the IAC stepper motor and the TPS sensor. Just remove those from the old TB you have and install on the new one. No cores to mess with" Quote NW

I'm giving FAST an opportunity to make good on mine. If FAST doesn't get right soon, I'll be calling.

Hi Mike,

Any chance of a sale or group purchase on FAST 90mm intakes and NW TB's? I might be interested in getting this set-up in the next month or two, I just need to decide if I want my AFR's milled or just run them out of the box.

Yes, possibly. I want to take a look at one and test it first. As many of you know, we will not offer a new product for sale unless we test it first.

Just do a search. I might be a shorter list if we told you what wasn't wrong

Missed the fact you have a C5. There is a TB swap with Vettes.
