Congrats. on the kit. It's hard to imagine you not being happy with it. I don't know anything about the BBK intake, but I hope it works out for you.

You're welcome. I would only suggest one change, and it's minor. If you could get those heads milled to 60cc chambers, it'll enhance the package, adding HP/TQ, and even better gas mileage.

Alright I got the Trickflow 515hp h/c package installed along with the u/d pulley. I just had the car tuned with the BBK aluminum intake and 80mm tb. My dyno numbers were 420hp and 400tq. I think there is room for improvement here! What manifold/ tb combo should I buy and from where? Also, I'm running Vararam power duct with twin cones on the end. I know the rest of the VR setup that requires cutting the plastic would probably help tremendously. Any suggestions are appreciated.

don't get hung up on numbers. 440-450hp on a 50deg day can easily be 420 on a hot summer day
