Haha yea man! Crazy
Neva! I'm drooling over shaved/wire tucked engine bays right now..........never seen anyone do a great job on a 4.6...looks like I'll need to change that.
I'm thinking COP conversion on my 2V, some nice cams, patriot heads, machined finish trick flow valve covers, and a trick flow intake...
If I go cams...there will be as much lope as possible...
However...I need to make some major decisions. If I go with the trick flow setup and cams, I'll probably stay n/a...unless I get blower cams for down the road.
I don't know...I change my mind every 5 minutes.

Haha yup I was the same way. I honestly called a company to finally bite the bullet on a v3 si trim. They didn't answer and I saw a tork tech kit and bought it... Before that I was debating Na or a v3 for years. The problem is the bottom end debacle. Reason why I went with boost is because trick flow heads cams and a intake is almost as much as a blower... But no where near the power.
Yea? Oooo...I like the sound of that...can I get some more details on the exact specs? I would love to have cams that I can use now...have some fun with them, and still use when I get some boost!

Car looks great man. I have to say i thought it was a little humorous that both your cars broke down but I'm sure it sucked at the time.
Did you post a how to for installing the double din? Always looking for different/better ways to do it without a dash swap.

Haha it was funny/sucked big time at the same time...I was literally laughing on the side of the highway
No I didn't...I just followed some how-to's online. There really aren't a lot of good options for getting it to mount in there...I ended up doing something similar to the ghetto 2x4 option, however it works perfectly.

Oh no 4v! I was really hoping you were going to stay 2v so I can steal your ideas on how to do a nice wire tuck.

B heads or C? Read up in SVTP on kenne bell on B heads. You'd be better off with a centri or turbo
Haha...I'm not 100% decided yet, but I'm definitely leaning 4V. Either way...I'll be tucking a lot of the same things in the bay...finished product will just be different.
I'm not sure which heads I will go with...I need to do some more research, can you run a Whipple on B or C heads?

Its your creation, go 4v if you can! 4v's love the positive displacement blowers anyways lol. And I think your hood has the rise for it. If I remember correctly, C heads are on terminator cars, and B heads are on 96-98 Cobra cars.

Definitely go C heads! You can get a kenne bell on B heads, but it will be non-intercooled because the valley between the B heads isn't big enough for a cooler. Seriously with the forged and stroker setup and a kb/whipple on C heads you can easily exceed your goal of 500hp. C heads are stock on termis(03-04 cobras) and you can get the same power from both kbs and whipples, but the kb has its distinct whine. http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/terminator-talk-229/844333-twin-screw-war-kb-vs-whipple.html
heres just one thread of many debating the kb vs whipple debate, you can't go wrong with either one!

You are basically wanting to do a termi C head swap, but instead of running the stock eaton, you want a kenne bell/whipple whatever you decide. Also one other option you might look into is doing a killer chiller setup, which uses your a/c to help the intercooler keep iats at ambient temp so you never get heatsoaked basically. http://www.killerchiller.com/system_2_page.htm
