GM LT1 Ai 200cc or Ai Trickflow LT1 200cc, many questions, 355 solid roller
Alright I am hoping to at least get 470rwhp "ALL MOTOR" with my 9" moser 6-speed and according to Ai's website there are guys making awesome power with the GM LT1 200cc Solid Roller setup(480+ rwhp 355 motors)but I don't see to many numbers for the Trickflow LT1 200cc Solid Roller setup? I want to get the Trickflow 200cc heads due to the fact I already have LE1 heads and I could sell those instead of just redoing them.
Will these Trickflow LT1 200cc make at least the same power as the GM LT1 200cc heads?
Also I thought Trickflows have big combustion chambers, if I want to get to an 11:5 to 1 compression ratio(pump gas still) can they mill the heads down that much and still have my intake manifold bolt up correctly? My block was '0' decked if that means anything.
Also I noticed the GM LT1 200cc got CNC p&p intake and exhaust, where the Trickflow LT1 200cc only got hand ported intake and CNC exhaust. Why would that be? Would it not be worth it to ask him to CNC the intake as well for the Trickflows?
Thanks for any help.

Those are all good questions for Ron/Phil, at AI. Great guys to work with and kick out killer products
What kind of budget do you have in mind, if you dont mind me asking? What kind of goals do you have in mind?

Goals: 355 SR setup, 470rwhp through a m6 9" rear end. high 10 or low 11 second all motor car.
Did you have your TFS heads milled down? What compression? Did you have any intake manifold problems when bolting them to your heads?

Your goals are doable with the GM 200's. As long as everything is a matched setup(per AI), the tuning is DEAD ON and you've got traction
I dont remember if the heads were milled, but the CR is 11.7:1, 93 octane no prob. And no problem bolting on the factory intake, that was worked over by AI as well.
