Default Questions Re: Throttle Bodies

I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a new TB. I've narrowed my choices down to either a FAST 92mm from WS6 Store or the Nick Williams 92mm from the same.

http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...le-body-w-tps/

http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...throttle-body/

They're $429 & $329 in the same order. The FAST comes with the TPS. What would the TPS cost separate? Is it a $100 dollar part? Are either of these TB's better than the other? I'm really only looking for the more most cost effective option of the two. I'm building the engine from a bare long block so I don't have any of the external components.

Engine is as follows:

LS6 Long Block
MS3 Cam
Ported FAST 92mm intake
243's W/5 angle valve job
1 7/8 Long Tubes

Get the NW and just keep your TPS. I replaced my TPS last year and it was like $15 IIRC. Don't just take my word a search will tell NW is hard if not impossible to beat

Stay away from PTM .My 92 has annoying sticking issues on the blade shaft.

Have you let PTM know that your tb is having issues? I am sure they would fix it. You can pm me your info and I can help you with getting the problem fixed.

Ive run the FAST 92mm on coutless setups. Never fails, very high quaility. I think its worth the extra coin.
