Nick Williams is waaaaay better than a fast!!
People with fast throttle bodies cars are harder to tune and run like crap in cold weather conditions.

The PTM sold by Texas Speed is an excellent lower cost alternative to the Nick Williams.

DO NOT BUY A FAST. Plain and simple lol. Do a search about the fast tb and see what comes up.

The iac port is way too small for a car with a bigger cam. I'm about to bore mine out today.

If it helps any it looks like NW TB's are on sale at WS6store.com, $319 for a 92mm.

I'd like to see someone test there house brand RPM Speed 102 TB, it's only $260 and includes IAC and TPS.

Go with a NW or PTM. I have no idea about rpm speed tb and it doesnt look like its on their site anymore. Idk what you conisder cheap but a good tb costs coin. The ebay ones have problems with blade sticking, iac problems among other things.

My fast 92 tb sucked to tune down low the NW is thousands of times better and its actually a 102 compared the the fast 92. The nw's are available from ws6store for 319 right now or 369 regular price.
