In case you didn't know, GotV-8. And that is the one that I am going with when I get my 90mm F.A.S.T.

The NW or the LS-2 should work fine, as long as you get a tune.

Some say the NW is harder to tune for idle, but if your tuner is good it shouldn't matter.

I have been researching for a puchase of a 90/90 and that is what I have come up with.

Nick Williams 90mm throttle body is the way to go. The LS2 throttle body is drive by wire. We have some horror stories to tell about using the FAST 90mm throttle bodies, as do many others on here... Bob

Well Im having a Motorsports shop do all the very soon items in my sig, still waiting on the heads thunder racing keeps telling them they should be in. So I think im going to go with the NW TB, because of all the bad things going around about the fast 90. I heard that it has made a few cables stick, is that true? Anyways thanks guys for the help, before I started asking around I didnt even know about the NW 90 TB.

The throttle sticks on them, and FAST does nothing about it.
