It has been reported that the FAST 90 MM intake + LS2 TB or NW 90 MM TB seem to have very good driveability.

i have the TPIS one on my 90mm FAST intake....i have a ton of issues with idling....as it just doesn't like to idle properly upon first startup of the day... but after that, its all good...

go with a Nick Williams, even im going to that setup!

I think that between the NW and the TPIS theres not much difference.basically a nice piece of aluminum with a 90 mm hole.If the blade doesnt stick you shouldnt have any issues if you go with a tuner that has some ability.both of there t bodies use oem style and some oem parts are retained.I'm not ready to jump on the NW bandwagon yet.

LS2 works as close to perfect as I can imagine. No issues and it is cheap.
