Default Quick look at the new F.A.S.T. throttlebody



LS1/LS6 Throttle Bodies Available As 78mm Or 90mm

FAST™ used the latest modeling software and test equipment available to produce designs that yield the maximum flow per square inch of cross-sectional area.

All throttle bodies are machined from billet 6061-T6 aluminum on precision CNC machining equipment for consistent quality and light weight.
CNC machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum

Brass throttle blades to control vibration and reduce thermal expansion

Throttle shafts are machined to decrease their cross-sectional area, leading to increased flow.

30-54016 F.A.S.T. 78mm throttlebody $coming soon!
30-54008 F.A.S.T. 90mm throttlebody $coming soon!

We might have pricing later this week or sometime next week. The throttlebodies are expected to be released around the same time as their intake. That is just after the 1st of the year.

These are made to work with the new intakes. Based on how popular the intakes have been I think these will move FAST

No idea what the pricing will be. I don't even want to try to guess with this one.

I just saw these TB's in person. They are not polished but just a really clean billiet piece.

They should be around $400 a piece.

The 75 will work fine. The 90mm only works with the FAST intake so if you have perchased the FAST intake then you must have the matching 90mm TB.

Wow that looks nice. They need to get these things out there so us consumers can start testing them. I'm getting tired of waiting for all these new products
