Default Best quality/performing throttle body out there... no crap TB's

Hey guys... I know there have been issues with certain throttle bodies out there, and some have been great... when responding to this, don't have the size of the throttle body in mind... this is more of a quality/reliability/working correctly standpoint... no sticking, leaking, etc...

My FAST has been perfect with great throttle response but knowing the quality of his work and feedback on here I would go NW all else being equal. He works with NASCAR a lot so I know he really knows his stuff!!! You will be hard pressed to find a complaint on NW's.

I was very happy with my Nick Williams, I have a RevXtreme 95 for my new LS7 intake and I also have a new 92 mm TB to be released and added to the list in about a week or so

Will I experience any gain ie, decrease of a tenth in E.T. by installing a 85mm throttle body on an otherwise stock engine (see sig)?

Depends on the intake. What size is the intake opening?

you will probably gain some, but on a otherwise stock engine you wont see much.
