Default Holley 90mm TB ... what are your thoughts?

I'm pretty happy with my new Holley 90mm TB/FAST 90 intake setup. The new FAST 90 I received was said by NLP to be sticking badly. Geoff there was gracious enough to purchase me a new Holley 90mm. Mike Norris of Norris Mororsports had previously reccommended the same TB. I like it. Anybody else here have one? What is your opinion about it? If negative please state why. I you have positive comments please state why, as well. Thanks.

i have one-it ***** on the fast 90 ml-it matches the fast 90 inlet nicely-tappers down equally-

i went through 2 fast 90 tb until i had enough-

i can't believe the fast 90 tb is still having these sticking issues-why does fast still leave them on the selling rack if they know there is a issue with them


the holley 90 tb also looks and performs good-

Yeah, instead of bushing, they are bearing-driven and I can feel the difference. I thought FAST corrected this issue nearly 2 years ago, but, apparently, they didn't and are still selling the throttle bodies. They told my shop they wanted to test it before they would replace it, from my understanding. = poor support

Fortunately, my shop owner was willing to just buy one from Holley for me ... to take care of me. = good support

The Holley is the best looking throttle body.

I had one on an LS7 manifold on my 427 and it was an incredible piece of work!

The only thing I don't like is how it looks stuck on the end of the FAST manifold...they look great on anything other than that manifold due to how much higher the manifold is than the throttle body.

But the feel of it is worth the trade-off IMHO. When I accelerate, it reacts. With the FAST 90 TB, the throttle repsonse wasn't anywhere near as good.
