Default FOX, LIVERNOIS OR TRICK FLOW

Looking to upgrade my heads after I buy the S/C (Procharger). I heard alot of great things about the new Trick Flow heads but was also told to look into the Livernois and Fox Lake heads. Out out of those three which would be the best setup for a Supercharged 2V? Thxs guys, any help would be appreciated..

Would you reccommend that I get the heads before the s/c? Also what numbers should I be looking at (rwhp) with just the heads installed and my current set up?

That's about what I expected? I've decided to go with the Procharger next year and then maybe the heads (Trick Flow) a couple months later. That shoud put me right at the 400hp mark shouldn't it?

There's no point in only getting heads; cams need to be bought at the same time in order to take any advantage of the better flowing heads. If you know you're going to be going to go the S/C route then get a set of custom blower cams like CMS 2.5 blower cams. I would get the S/C first.

In the spring Im getting Trick Flow heads ported through Fox Lake. Its not cheap but for 500 bucks more Im gunna do it. My future plans are for twin turbos. I agree with sxynerd and say that you should get cams. Im getting Crower Stage 3 Turbo cams.

If you want a good set of turbo cams, I've seen some amazing numbers come out of MPH's custom grinds.
