Default Throttle body pricing

I am ready to take the plunge for a new Fast or Nick Williams throttle body. The pricing seems to be slightly different on many sites. Does anybody know the best pricing on these throttle bodies? I don't have the money for the intake yet but i want to do the Fast intake also soon. Thanks.

Not to try to persuade you, but have you looked into a ported stock TB? You might have already. Should yeild the same type of gains and cost you somwhere around 200 dollars or so less. Just a thought.

^ thats not a bad idea but it sounds like he wants to go to a 90mm setup and a stock tb will only be ported out to 78mm area....

Thanks for the quick replies. I have looked at he ported throttle body option. New Era is near me in Rochester, NY does it for 75 dollars. Maybe i should do that until i get the intake also. I was going to go with an LS6 intake as i still have the stock 2000 ls1 intake. I will keep looking for advise though.

Well it seems either way you go you're gonna gain some ponies. I just put my ported TB on last week and felt a nice gain. SOTP noticable. Whatever you do though will be a good move.
