Question Haven't heard much about TSP's PTM 90mm TB...

Is anyone using it? How does it compare to the NW 90? Just curious as I've seen it on their site for a while but haven't really seen or heard of anyone using it. I'll eventually be going 90/90 so just wanted to see what people thought of it.

Great throttle body! We've sold quite a few with great results. I'll be running one with my FAST 90 setup before too long and getting some new numbers.

How does it compare to the NW 90? What's the diff, other than the name?

Well if you didn't come across as such a dick more people would probably help you.

As far as I know TPIS are the only ones who convert the LS6 to have a 90mm opening, either round or oval. I think you'll need on of their TB's though.

They have reportedly seen good gains over a stock LS6 intake, however due to the plenium chamber design on the FAST 90 the FAST is still superior on the correct setup.

Personally my choice of intake would be a FAST 90 with a PTM or NW 90mm TB. I think the PTM is basically a copy of the NW TB so yes it's good.

Professional Products does have a 96mm intake and TB onthe way, but they are not yet out. Would be keen to see some results. Their 85mm Typhoon intake and TB has shown gains compared to a LS6 intake and is probably comparable to a 90mm LS6 in performance, maybe better. More indipendant dyno results are really needed to verify such a claim IMO.
