Default Trying to find a GOOD throttle body!

Looking to buy a 90mm throttle body, have looked around the forum and read a lot of bad stuff on the FAST 90mm. What throttle body have you used with the least amount of problems? As of now I think I might go with a Nick williams.

he makes great tb's. some of the sponsers sell package deals of fast intake and nick williams tb's. first off, what intake manifold do you have? because it would be pointless to have a 90mm tb on a 75mm ls6 intake manifold

cool if you don't want the fast 90mm tb then go with the nick williams package they offer..you can't beat the looks...but i hope you are making enough power to put that intake to use

Definitely pick up a Nick Williams. I had a Bluemaxx which I believe is patterned after the FAST 90, and it stuck bad. Hanging RPMs, sometimes at 3500 with the clutch in, blah blah blah. Had major issues with it needless to say, returned it, got a NW and no problems ever since.
