UMI is overpriced. Go with Holley or NW.

NW is the way to go. I read a few threads of the TPIS being nice pieces but the blade would stick, similar to how the Fast TB's would stick.

I put a ptm side by side with a nw and I can only see a couple minor machining differances. Does anyone know what the differance is? I've heard the holley is a pain to install for some reason.

only thing i read about the holley is you need to use a included bracket for the cables where as the nw's as far as i know(exchanging mine due to damage/havent put it on) works with the stocker.
