Default Intake setup recommendations?

I'm looking into purchasing a FAST 92/92 setup, and thoug hI would read a little about it before I purchase.

I've read that the FAST 92mm TB is a good piece, but the PTM TB is also a great piece, and offered a little bit cheaper by TSP.

What I'm really asking, is should I consider a different setup? siffereint intake manifold and.or TB?

I appreciate everyones input and opinion.

The motor is a Forged 383 with:
TEA 5.3 1.5 heads with 2.05 intake 1.60 exhaust
Forged Dimond pistons approximate compression 11.2 to 1 with current heads
Comp Cams XER 612/244/112 +4

I've actually heard that the FAST TBs have a tendency to stick open....dunno if they fixed the problem yet....

The PTM 92mm tb is an excellent product. It's priced a little cheaper but it's no less quality, 100% american made.
