I voted UMI. It's worked flawlessly for me since day one! I've had zero sticking or any other issues with it what so ever. It's got to be a good one, Katech uses it an all of their builds. That alone says a lot when a company like them use it and can choose any brand they want.

Ha ha, that's where I bought mine from. Great people to deal with!

When you look inside the TB and open the throttle, the blade actually follows the contour of the TB until it gets to a certain point which is suppose to also help smooth out the response.

I have one of the newer Nick Williams TB's and haven't had any trouble at all with it. When I go wide open trottle it sounds like I am going to suck the front end of the car up!! LOL

Its more money but the RevXtreme is a very very nice peice. There are no sticking issues with it at all and honestly its one of the nicer looking TB's I've seen on the market.
You have options thats for sure!

SOUL!!! UMI for the WIN, I have never had any kind of issue with it!
