Default Throttle body? Also Y-pipe?

What throttle body would you guys prefer? I'm thinking on getting the new F.A.S.T. throttle body, 90mm, but not quite sure. Also, I'm probably going to get the slp Y-pipe, what type of Y-pipe would you guys suggest? Help a brotha out!!!

Have you seen MTI's TB? If money were not an issue I'd buy their's. I had mine ported and polished by Jantzer (quick & cheap) but I've heard good things about Bauer as well.

I went with the SLP LT's, so I bought the SLP Y-pipe as well. I've found that 'sometimes' when you mix and match brand names fitment issues arise. I personally, am very happy with my choice

Good luck

port your own TB or look at a shaner S2/S3 or bauer. dont even get a new Y unless it accompionied by some long tubes or mids. any other times its a waste of money.

A new y-pipe for manifolds is pointless. If you ever go with mid or long tube headers it just became useless. Ported TB is a damn good mod and I would look into the ones Shaner makes. Also the bigger sized TB aren't worth your money unless the opening on the intake is large enough to be accompanied with the bigger TB

Also with the new 90mm you want see much if any gains over an aftermarket 80mm unless you are other than stock CI...you should def check out jantzer and bauer. Good Luck
