Default which is the best quality 90mm tb?

looking to purchase a 90mm throttle body and I do know which to get. I have heard the FAST 90 has had alot of issues. I am leaning towards a billet piece. I like the Nick Williams, I also heard Holley makes a nice billet peice as well anyone have any input?

I have a Nick Williams 90mm TB.

It is badass piece. Performance wise and appearance wise.

Unless there has been a recent change... NO. Maybe Nick will see this post for the latest scoop.

I have the Nick Williams Vette TB. Very nice unit. Wish he still made them, it took me months to find a used one.

The Nick Williams is the class of the field..and as far as I know he does not build them for FAST..there were a number of people who had problems with the FAST TB a while back..not sure if they ever improved their product or not..just get a NW TB and you will be happy ..

I was planning on getting a Nick Williams TB given the flood of positive feedback that it has, but Texas Speed was discounting their 90/90 combo by over $200 with the PTM instead.

FAST fixed the problems, and im sure they will stand behind any future problems. Betwene the 4 major companies, I dont think you could go wrong with either one.

I lhave a F.A.S.T. TB and I like it a lot ... quality piece and it has F.A.S.T. engraved on it, which matches my F.A.S.T. intake ... looks pretty nice with the SLP clear lid.

The PTM is a very nice billet throttle body. Quality is second to none,and it has a better price than the rest.

To me having the name on it adds no value or positive appearance to it .. I don't like advertising on my parts ... I sanded off the FAST /WILSON logo on my intake and painted it to match the car ... if the NW TB had a logo machined into it I would have had that milled off too .. to me it looks better minus the logo on the intake .. to each his own .. if we all the same it would be a dull world..

We have been running a TON of the PTM TBs lately. They always perform EXACTLY the same as the more expensive TBs! Quality and appearance are top notch as well. We are currently running a special for the FAST 90mm Intake and PTM 90mm TB for $1050!

That is a great price on a 90/90 combo! Quality is outstanding.

I guess I just enjoy getting all the comments when I open the hood ... like when people see AFR on my heads ... to each his own ... tells people you went the extra mile and paid good money for quality parts ... would you have the AFR logo milled off the heads too? If you say 'yes', I'd seriously have to doubt it.

Seriously, between the FAST/PTM/NW ... you can't go wrong. they all produce great results.
