Anyone with a 00GT have a NOVI2000?
Most places I look online show the NOVI2000 kit for the 99 GT and then another kit for the 01-04GT. I know Vortech's go for the 99GT and for the 00-04GT but the NOVI's dont seem to include the 00. So if anyone has a 00 GT with a NOVI2000 setup and could please tell me if the 01-04 kit is the one with the bracket that bolts up to our engine that would be much appreciated. Thanks!

While my s trim vortech is the butt of SC's for the GT's, the NOVI 2000 is the **** of the SC's. These things pull like crazy. I've never ridden in one, but I know a dude pushing 600rwhp @ 21 psi. Actually, I don't know him, but he's doing it. The pull starts a little later than the vortech. BUT w/o a forged block it's worthless & it's overkill for most applications. But if you want to upgrade your block soon, it'll give you room to grow into.

Yeah I plan to SC then begin to save for a fully forged shortblock after the car is boosted. Final goal is like a 500-600RWHP daily driver. 
So the NOVI2000 kit should actually say its for 00-04 not 01-04?

uhh, just call the Paxton Novi company. Ask them real quick. They will definately know. With your goal of 500-600rwhp, you will be nowhere close to the max hp of the 2000. They are rated at almost 1200hp!!!! Thats flywheels hp, but still, DAMN!

I'm sure you could run an s-trim @ 1200 HP so long as you don't over-spin it...
How much boost are you running???

I know the vortech bracket is different from the 99 to the 00-04's. Different timing chain cover, I belive that is it.

Unless you plan on ported heads and aftermarket cams/intake there is no reason you need anything bigger than a S or SQ. MPH has several cars in the 550+ range on stock heads/intake with NO intercooler, and several in the 600~ range with intercooling.
The major difference between the 99-00 and 01+ kits from vortech is the IAT sensor setup. On the 01 1/2 + cars the MAF has the IAT sensor integrated into it, so you need a new IAT from the 99-00 cars and you need instructions on how to install it.
The vortech instructions didn't say anything about a different bracket for the 2 different cars, and I cannot tell any difference in the covers between my car and my friends 04, but I have not installed a kit on a 01 1/2+ car.
Original poster definatly needs to call paxton with the SN of the kit and ask them if it will work ok on their car.
