Default Nick Williams or Holley TB?

I need a new 90mm throttle body for my car. Should I go for NW or Holley? Price aside, which do you guys think is a better quality part?

Yeah, it seems that a lot more people are using the NW TB and I think it is better looking than the Holley as well.

I have the Holley and I plan on using it..It's a very quality piece, doesn' look like a big block on the front of the Intake either..
I don't see a big difference in them, both are 90mm..preference I guess..

Here is the Holley..

I think the Holley looks a lot nicer, it has less of the "carved from a block of metal" look to it, however, I have heard no first hand info about function and fitment. Go ahead and try one and tell us how it works.

Damn, that Holley TB looks nice when you see it mounted on the intake. Maybe I'll go with one of those, since I have found them cheaper than the NW.

This throttle body is going on a polished 122H Magnacharger, so I need to figure out what is going to match the best. I don't think I can go wrong with either TB, I guess it really comes down to looks.

I went ahead and ordered the Holley. I found a good price on it, and I had not heard anything but good things about them. I guess I'll find out how it works when my blower gets here.

I don't think you can go wrong with either. But, of course with the Nick Williams you can get customer support right here on this forum. He's a member here
