When I get mine, I'm going NW. I've heard quite a few people say the Fast TB is junk. Someone at a local car show was talking about his friend who had one and said something about the butterfly being too small and letting air get around it at idle and making idle hard to tune. I'm not sure if that's the main problem, or one of the problems with the TB, but I've heard to shy away from it and go NW or maybe even TPIS.

I have the NW its very nice. I had a FAST on order and when i called and asked them about how long it would be untill they resumed shipping they acted like total asses. I am really glad i canceled my order and went with NW. I think every one has read the threads about the FAST sticking

Definately a NW. I've had experience with the FAST, TPIS, and NW throttle bodies... the Nick Williams is by far the best constructed one i've seen.

I have a fast 90mm and boy is it a piece of crap. It sticks even after lots of modding. I have done a couple nw tb's on friends cars and they are perfect. Much better machining tolerances and better return spring.

Here's another vote for NW. The only thing good I can say about the Fast is that it comes in a pretty fancy box (Probably why it costs so much)

NW for sure, my fast stuck and I had to add a spring just to keep it closed. What a POS.
