Default Trick flow top end kit

I was looking at the trick flow top end kit and was wondering if you guys thought it was any good? It's about 2,200$, should i go for this, or just supercharge it? also, this might sound dumb but what all does the top end kit come with, i know it comes with heads and a cam but what else?

thanks

i actually just started my engine tonight for the first time after installing that top end kit.......it fired right up

the kit includes heads (assembled), 1.6 roller rockers, intake (upper and lower), timing chain, pushrods, valve covers, hardware and maybe a few other small things


the instructions are kind of lacking on adjusting the valve lash ect. but overall a very well put together kit, looks great

one thing is that you have to drill your own hole in the valve covers for the oil filer tube which kinda sucked but was fairly easy

you also have to modify the egr a little for it to fit correctly, nothing that a hammer and a punch cant fix

If I were to do mine over agian, I'd most likely have gone w/ that kit instead of piecing everything together. Trickflow makes good stuff.
