I think Joe bought one and got rid of it REALLY quick himself due to the lack of quality in it. I have the FMS unit and its a VERY nice piece.

im with Paul....i have the FMS unit as well....it is a very high quality product no problems with it period....idk if your looking for something bigger though...if your looking bigger than 65mm then id say go with Edelbrock or BBK....actually i remember reading BBK supplies Edelbrock with their TB's....someone else could probably confirm or deny that though....

I found a brand new 65mm FRPP throttle body on ebay for $225 last month. I have yet to install it but it looks top notch.

I loved my FMS 65 MM til it broke I was lucky because where it broke any piece of metal could have got sucked into the intake. So I am kinda worried about that and I need to save mo $ so I can race and make another mod before FFW in Commerce Georgia.

I've been running the edelbrock/bbk throttle body for about two years now and it has never given me any problems. Definately better than any of the professional products stuff.

Ive had my FMS 65mm for about 6 months and it has worked great accept it sometimes sticks open on really cold mornings.

That was Riffraff. He actually threw it away.

I've owned a BBK 65 and 70MM TB with zero issues.

Joe and I ALMOST bought them at the same time, and luckily for us RiffRaff Warned us ahead of time.

We both got the BBK 70 and as far as I know WE BOTH have been ok with them.

OK I have calmed down. I fixed the problem today by studding it it works alot better. The design of the throttle body really sucks but all is well again if I have any more big issues I will throw this thing very far away thanks to everyone that replyied!!!!
