is it possible to purchase the s-trim and go with it and see if i like it then upgrade to the T-trim and still use the same parts (piping, pulley etc.) if i wanted more power down the road?

yes, this is possible and quite common. You need to touch base with vortech to see if this still run this "upgrade program". You "exchange" your head unit for the T-trim or they modify it to t-trim standards.
I would suggest going with the t-trim if you "think" there is ANY change of wanting more power late... i only say this because you'll save yourself some money in the long run. the T-trim can do whatever you want from it (as well as an S-trim) with more head room down the road.

Your midrange with the T might even be a little stronger even at low boost, say 8-10#. There really isn't a downside, unless you never want more power. And how many people really stick with that?

Does anybody know how much torque the kits make? I'd imagine it would be in the 400+ range..or not?
With a ported plenum, AS&M runners, and a ported base would it pick up like 20 hp or would it be more?
Just kinda wondering how much effect better flowing stuff has on forced induction applications.
