So i have a built 02 gt, vortech v1 strim, comp cams and springs, stock heads and intake manifold, i need some advice/opinions.

Soon with my new 8rib setup the blower will be maxed out to its full potential, my only options on making more power is going turbo, t trim or doing some heads/intake. My blower will be spun to its max so i might loose some boost but still gain HP like i did with my LT headers? What should i expect for hp/tq gain/loss?

I am on the fence about going with the new trick flow heads or just going to 4v heads for the same price.
Pros/cons?
opinions?
I want to keep my cams if i go with the 2v heads but i herd i cant.

I am also on the fence about the intake manifold, i was looking at trick flow but im just not sure what would best fit my application, what fits and works the best.
pros/cons?
Does the alt. need to be flipped around?
and does it still fit with the vortech?
Does my TB stay in the same location?
are all the egr/IAC's stuff in the same location?

here is a pic of my engine bay for ref:



Anyone have and pics of different combos?

You can use your cams with the trickflows heads.
Your vortech is fine with the intake.
You must flip the alternator.

i have the trickflow intake... the alternator does get flipped around but it gives u two mounting locations when u do that... one is for if u have a blower so it should move it a tad to the drivers side to clear... the throttle body is pretty close to factory location... its not a 100% match but very close...

as far the egr and iac... the iac gets moved but it comes with wire leads to extend the factory harness.. also i think the egr gets moved.. I didnt use that part of the kit but if i remember right it has a way of moving that as well...

Trickflow does state u can use the stock cams... but with using a blower and maxing it out u might want to consider using a "blower cam". switching to 4V is better but costs more for other mods as well as having to replace some you have already done and spent money on.. the big problem with the 2v heads is the intake port. part of the valve is shrouded and to fix that you will either need to do "big bore", larger valves with matching pistons, or get the new trickflow heads which say they help with that condition..

I really wanna stay with the 2v the more i think of it. and i already have comp cams. My egr is deleted but as you can see my IAC is a bit more custom. dunno if id have to change that and the discharge tube.
