Default 90mm throttle body
Who makes a decent one and how much should I expect to pay?

I emailed Futral and Alan says my TB will be my weak link.

How do I contact Nick?

How much of a factor is a 90mmTB over a stock one?

My motor is an 02 LS1 with SLP long tube headers, ORPS and SLP 345hp catback (cats removed) and the CME/Dual Dual muffler, Donaldson Blackwing airlid.
I'm running stock internals with 5.3 heads, 2.02"/1.55" valves custom ported and chambered with 11:1 CR.
Valve train will be a Futral F14, PRC springs, Ti retainers, etc.
Car is a 6spd running 4.10s


All of the mods listed above will be installed in a few weeks.

Tim

is the Nick Williams design is the same as the Fast. MTI makes 90mm but its not based on the shaft and bearing style like the Fast , it uses the factory style ( spring and shaft)

When the first thing you have to do is "fix" a brand new $4-500 TB I'd say it's junk. Here's a couple threads.

Nick Williams is 419.99 NO core.

TPIS is what 650.00? and a core.

I wouldn't even consider a FAST.

The Nick Williams is a no brainer.
