Question Which Throttle Body?

Hey guys, I am looking at buying a new Trans Am w/ TEA stage 1.5 5.3 ported and polished heads, Comp cams 220/224 .581 114lsa cam, LT's, 9'', a bunch of other bolt-ons and suspension work. I will also do a Speed Inc True Dual exhaust on it. And was thinking about also redoing some of the intake. I was thinking about doing a FAST 90 intake but wasn't sure about which 90mm tb to go with it. The car runs mid 12's with the stock intake and has the Shaner S3 ported throttle body on it. I was just wondering what you guys think, I don't know anything about the Shaner S3 tb but it probably will not fit the new intake. What are you guy's running and how well do you like it? Is there anything else that I would need to make the intake and tb fit on the car? Also please input any suggestions on other mods to help the car run right or anything that you think would be a good thing to do to it. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

Nick Williams is the most popular. You can pick any 90mm, just avoid the FAST ones. Lots of people have had problems with them.

The PTM 90mm tb gets my vote. Price is very good, quality is second to none. Imo, you can't go wrong with this tb.
