Question best throttle body?

Once and for all what is the best throttle body? Everyone keeps mentioning nw, ptm, holley, and fast, but which one is the top dog? i am looking for something to match up with my pp typhoon 96mm intake. I think we need to finally settle this controversy

I think most on here agree the NW's are top notch. Don't know much about the others except FAST had some sticking issues a while back. You know you are getting a quality piece with NW.

I like the quality of my UMI..
U.M.I.'s 90mm throttle body was designed with state of the art 3D modeling software. Manufactured from A356 aircraft aluminum alloy and machined in house on the latest CNC machining centers. Featuring UMI's new parabolic throttle bore design virtually eliminates any "tip in" hesitation found in most big bore throttle bodies. Most billet straight bore throttles don't have this cut. UMI's throttle body uses the same bearings, seals, and shaft design as production throttles. This allows for a very durable design that can withstand the extreme temperature swings seen by street and racing applicaions without worrying about throttle sticking issues seen by other aftermarket throttle bodies. This throttle body is so good; it's being used exclusively by GM Racing for their racing efforts in Daytona Prototype, SCCA Road Racing, and Dakar Hummer Off-road racing.

I second that. PTM TBs are very reliable, and look good. I'm selling my Nick williams because it had a spring problem, I'm getting a PTM.
