102mm TB's
Who else makes a quality 102mm TB besides the mega-overpriced NW?
It is the last piece of the puzzle for my 102 conversion but $5-600 for a TB is just a little bit on the crazy side.
But, if nobody else makes one, then, oh well................
I have not even considered buying one from FAST since myself and thousands of others with F-bodies had TB's that would hang open (in the past).
I did a search and I saw a post about V-Max motorsports so I emailed the guy (Pete) and I got "I'm sorry, I can't help you".
What is that about? No explanation, no we don't make them, not even a thanks for considering us........ etc. etc.... Not sure what gives there?

I believe VMAX only does ported stock TB's. What size motor do you have with what type of build? I ask because a 102mm tb might not be needed for a smaller cube motor and probally wont show any noticable gains besides throttle response.

It's a Z06 with Black widow cam, LG LT's, X-pipe, Tune, etc.....
So, now I am upgrading the intake, TB and injectors.

Call Pete Incaudo, the owner of V-max Motorsports. He makes various size TB'S...not just ported stock ones. I run one of his on both my stroker motors. High quality units.

I talked to him at last years PRI show and he was making 90,92,95,100,105,110, & 115 mm TB's in cable and drive by wire. He had many of them on the table. Even his site www.v-max motorsports shows them on the site.

I couldn't get this to load, and after searching for vmaxmotorsports, I found a web page that looked rundown. Only a few pix with no real description and of coarse call for price.

Pete did say that the Nick William TB's are also very-very good units. He has not seen any problem with them. He said to tell people to go there for now.
