you can do alot better, for alot less money

There are literally hundreds of people that have hit anywhere from 290-310 RWHP with that "kit". Tell them to remove the valve covers, and use all the pieces. Great put together kit, and great bang for the buck.
Is there better, yes. Not much cheaper for the power.

Two things wrong with your post.
1) I did not say it would not work at all. I said it may present a problem, and you listed it.
2) You do not need a tune for a TFS-1. My buddy (1994) has a TFS-1 and no tune needed. Runs just fine.

^^^^^nope the trick flow valve covers that come in the kit work fine......just need to grind a little on the egr mounting base and as for drivibility..you'll need a tune to correct any idle surge accompanied with cam .. if it were me to avoid a tune I would replace stage 1 cam with a steeda #19

here we go again number two I will strongly disagree cause you have 1 under your belt and I have more than you can count on your hands and toes under mine.........not always the case so that's what's wrong with your post..and I have numerous articles to support my claim and refute yours.....and it's nearly midnight here so we'll save this debate for later.....understand one thing and understand it very clear Dave some do add the trick flow kit and never experience a issue on the sn-95 however more often than not people do and experience idle surge. hunting idle out of the blue and if you understood the scaller tables and the conservative arrangement of such..... you'd know that after that trick flow kit is put on that sn-95 and I do the same to a fox thatI can get the fox to out run the sn-95 ..even with weight added to the fox.. it's in the ecm tune yet another debate for another day been there done it more than I can count
and I'm sure your buddies runs fine but trust me the ecm has limited the kits full potential , have your buddies sn prof tuned and you'll get back what the foxes already can adjust for

yeah what he said
but to the op it all comes down to what u want to do just cruise around on the streets then get the kit and get it tuned
if u want something faster with less street time and more track time than build something from scratch or look into other peoples build
how fast do u want to go? do u daily drive the car or will u be?do u have another vehicle to drive? cause these are all questions that u need to answer for yourself to decide which way u should go
take the guess out and get more hp for same money a simple 7-10 lbs of boost would be fun to drive and good on gas?

i personally witnessed a race, 2 sn95's, both with the trick flow kit, one auto the other stick.
the t5 had a decent tune and the auto car didnt have alot of tuning done from what i remember, the t5 car had some road race suspension and good tires, the auto, not sure on tires.
the auto went a best of 13.9 and the stick finally got a 12.97 after launching at like 5k-5500
the a/f ratio was tweeced a little more on the auto car and it is now faster, dont know by how much yet.
ill have to find the video, somewhere on the internet.

There is a difference.
I could care less about "articles" in magazines or online, but that is my preference.

OK, so lets change this up a bit. What would you (MJR46/5SPD GT)do to get 350-400 horse from my engine? I have fuel delivery and exhaust done.
It gets driven like its stolen most every weekend.
