Question Which throttle body for FAST90, and why?

I hear many mixed opinions on this matter, and I just want some clarification. Why is the FAST90 TB junky, and what makes the NW so good?

some ppl where having issues with the fast 90mm tb (only) sticking and they had to be modd'd. NW came out with a 90mm tb and it had "no" issues and that is the norm or desired alternative. Some even go as far as using the ls2, 90mm tb but i havent heard to much on this.

From my understanding, the new batch of fast 90mm tb's have been fixed so it could just be a past issue....

Yep, ive heard nothing but good things about the NW throttle body. I will just buy one of those and not worry about wether or not the FAST will stick.

The new FAST TB's seem to have no problems with the sticking. You can't go wrong either way

You guys that have them, when you first got them was the blade pre-drilled?

Got mine today and mine had about a 1/4" hole in it....
