Anyone try the UMI 90mm throttle body yet? Trying to decide on which throttle body to go match with the ported FAST 90 intake I'll be purchasing in the next few weeks. I was dead set on the Nick Williams piece because its been proven over and over, but the UMI piece seems pretty neat. My entire suspension will soon be UMI, and I'm happy with the pieces I have installed so far.
Anyone have any experience with this TB? Does it have any improved throttle response over a NW90, or any other drivability advantages?

Young must have read this, I just got an email advertising it. I saw it on your site first anyways 
I'll be calling you within the next month as well to order up the rest of my UMI (suspension!) stuff and maybe a pillar guage pod
Got a CarCareOne card now

I had a NW on my Radix, and now I'm going with a UMI on my 408. Both are nice pieces....the UMI is pricier, but it looks like a little better quality too.

The butterfly is round.
$419 is a great price, I just paid $600 shipped for mine direct from UMI
Anyway, here is mine mounted to my SSR manifold...and yes that's a place mat on the dining room table that it's sitting on
