What is the best brand of TB to buy for an F-body. I have heard there are issues with FAST units.

Looking for something that tunes in easily without major issues.

TIA!

We never had a problem with Fast 95mm TB or NW 102mm TB But I never tested Fast 102
I also heard the same about some issues with Fast 102mm unit..

FAST make the best throttle bodies IMO, they had issues with the 90mm versions about 5 years ago sticking. So they completely redesigned them. The other thing is that they were designed to work specifically with the FAST intake, no issues.

The 92mms, I have always used the FAST but sometimes other 92mm TBs dont seal the bottom of the oring between the TB and intake from what Ive read.

The 102mms, the FAST has a built in convolute (however you spell it) which is a hump so it makes it easier to tune at idle and low speed. I wouldnt suggest any TB but the FAST if you looking at a 102mm. The cheaper ones do not and tend to not be as forgiving.

The TPIS TB is a nice piece

I like my Nick Williams. I, personally, would stick with Nick Williams because I have done business with him and he is a stand up guy. If I had a FAST tb, I think I would be worrying about it all the time, because of their past problems. My tuner did not have a hard time with getting my car to idle.

Nick Williams. I was fortunate to get one of the last 107mm he no longer does. Idles at 800rpm and never misses a beat.

Where can I pick up a NW throttle body from? since I can't get a new blade for the fast I am going to replace it completely.
