Some of the early ones had sticking issues. I have one and works like a charm though. If I had bought my 90/90 new though I would DEFINITELY have gone NW.

NW is a sexy piece. Never seen the FAST in person for comparison.

Stuck in 2006 with incorrect information too I see.

FAST has totally redesigned their throttle bodies, they earliest 90mm TB stuck, but not wide open. They stuck just before closing making cars idle at 1500-1700RPM.

My brother and a few of my friends have the new 92mm FAST TB and has no issues. I'd have one if my truck wasnt drive by wire.

I picked up a new FAST 90/90 back in 2007 and I didn't have a problem with the throttle body. Worked pretty damn good if you ask me

Actually Ive had mine stick as high as 3k...its usually the annoying 15-1700rpm but your info isn't 100% either. The cam gear in the older ones are junk and that's what causes the problem.

anyone know if FAST will replace your pos one with a new one or at least hook up a deal?
