i would get a NW 90 or the TPIS 90, but their too pricey, they should pricematch the same for a NW so they could sell more.

Dont get the Fast, I would trade my Fast 90 for a Nick williams with money to boot. There is absolutely zero throttle return spring, I cant tell if my foot is pushing on the damn pedal or not. You would think I have neverdriven a manual trans car, just cant get used to it. I havnt had any issues with sticking yet but a freind did has with his. I have heard a lot of good about the NX throttle bodys also but no real experience.

NW is a very cool looking piece...nothing like a solid block of aluminum milled down to a TB. I haven't had any issues with mine and the only difference is I can feel that the spring is stronger than stock (feels a little harder to push on the gas).

I have a friend who uses NW/Fast 90mm, runs awesome times with the 402. Short of a single plane setup, that is what I would choose.

Here's another vote for the NW90. We've used quite a few on customer's cars and have been very pleased with them.

I've got a NW90 going on the car in the spring, along with heads and cam. I don't think the 90's needed until your car has heads on a stock bore engine. Unless sporting the 402/408 or larger. Just my .02

The more mods you have then the more you will benefit from a 90 setup. I think you can group people with large cams along with the heads/cam crowd as far as those that benefit from the 90.

The PTM 90MM is made from a solid chunk of billet aluminum,like the NW.It is 100% made in america,and a very nice product.The price on this is very competitve for a billet part.IMO,the PTM is on par with the very best.

I have had my NW 90 TB for 2 years and wouldn't trade it for anything, very nice piece and works flawlessly from the box. My Tuner was very happy when he saw the NW on my car, according to him it is the easiest to tune with. I haven't heard anything about a newer version of th NW or problems with it.
