I don't know what they are like now, but that definitely was the case over a decade ago. The FAST TB's back then were crap and the Nick Williams were the go-to. I would really hope this is no longer true, but who knows?

I'd stay away from that Sniper intake. It literally could be the worst intake on the market under 6000 rpm.

The Nick Williams 102 comes with the needed sensors already installed so it costs a little more. The WARR Performance 102 is also an excellent TB but it doesn't come the needed sensors already installed so it costs less. One can use the stock TB sensors on the WARR TB and saved ~$175 to $225 vs a similar Nick Williams.

WARR also allows you to pick various anodized colors.. Have used WARR and Nick Williams both are excellent.

Just a side note- WARR (I believe) is run by veterans. They are located about 40miles north of me.

I’ll jump in on this because I’m in a similar boat. I just got the FAST 102 intake and a Nick Williams 102 Throttle Body.


I love them so far! I do have one question though. I bought the upper and lower halves of the manifold because it was about $200 + cheaper than buying the whole manifold. But what bolts hold it together? It didn’t come with any. And are they bolts AND nuts or just a screw bolt? Also, no hardware came with the TB. What size bolts hold the TB to the intake? Thanks in advance and sorry for hacking the thread a little bit. I did a search and this was the best thread that came up.
