Nick Williams - Great Experience (PICS)! To say that Nick Williams is the manufacturer of the best throttle bodies on the planet is an understatement.
I had the pleasure of meeting Nick over the weekend, and it was one of the most memorable experiences in my life to date. I saw one of Nick's posts here on 'tech and noticed that he is in NC, about an hour away from me. After a few PMs and phone calls, he offered to stay AFTER 5 OCLOCK on FRIDAY to meet and show me around his place of business, and answer all of the MANY newbie questions I had. I graciously accepted his generous offer in a heartbeat - who wouldn't?
The results? Check these out:
Talk about artwork! Nick gave me an hour long tour of his domain, during which he explained to me the general differences and improvements that he made over other throttle bodies' designs. He was even kind enough to let me check out one actually being made - VERY cool!
To meet a VIP in the LS1 world is one thing, but one staying late on a Friday to show me around, treat me like family, and just plain talk cars with is something completely different.
Believe me folks, I've seen it first hand: Any of you 90mm guys that go with a cheap knockoff TB are NUTS. There are so many differences between this TB and others, it is unreal.
I'll post more pics when I get this and my ported FAST manifold installed. Thanks again Nick, and any of you that were deciding between this TB and another unit - this should make your decision quite a bit easier.

I have one, and it is a work of art. I especially like the location of the idle adjustment screw. Its location makes it extremely easy and practical to adjust the idle with the engine running while keeping your hands in safety from the belt - My BBK 80MM throttle body was exactly the opposite, and it was a PITA to adjust it with the engine running due to location.
Yeah they are ok 
I just bought one from bynun cant wait to have se....UMMM see it yeah see it 
sick
