I have just never been a fan of the log style header which is why I would prefer the Livernois old kit over a Trick kit or even a new style Livernois kit. I guess I probably should have explained that better in the previous post. In no way was I trying to bash Trick or any other company. Sorry
just looking for opinions. I have never seen there log until today.Talk to poeple look around and I am sure you will find something that will work for you.
If there is anything I can do for just let me know.

I really like the fact that Trick is a sponsor, and takes the time out of their day to respond on this website. If I lived in another state and where buying a kit right now, I would really be interested in the Trick kit. Sounds like they have a really nice kit. It just needs some crazy guy like me to push the limits of the kit on a stock bottom end and see what you get. 
I wonder what 25 psi would be like on a front mount? WOW!

I am getting ready to pull the radix off this weekend and put on an old style Livernois kit, and I can tell you that the parts that come in the kit look great. The welds look top notch and so does the coating. Im sure the new Livernois kit and the Trick kit are extremely comprable to eachother, and I will let you know in a couple of weeks what I think about it. I am heading down to San Antonio to have the truck tuned at Nelson's so Im sure I will get to see a Trick Kit first hand to compare it to the Livernois kit. We have all seen log manifolds produce incredible numbers, Parish8, so I dont really think they are going to hinder anyone on here's performance goals. It is all about personal preference, customer service, and most of all empty wallets!

Ours are build from stainless and can be coated if you like.
We offer blow off valve with ever kit, and can easily add the T76 turbo if nedd be.
Nelsons builds a very clean Air/Air IC for the unit and can give the tuner support (and installationif need be) needed for a very complete install.
We also give our kits a 1 year warranty of all pipes, and welds.
Feel free to pm me if you need anything or give Allen a call at Nelsons.

It goes a long way in my book that Trick is here as a part of the community, helping out, offering expertise. Vote with your wallets fellas...

I have been "daily driving" my Trick turbo setup for about 5k miles now, I can honestly say the kit is nothing short of awesome. My forced induction experiance is limited, but the kit speaks for its self everytime I blow by a mustang in a 5500 lbs. truck. The turbo consistantly spools at about 1500 rpm, giving me full boost by 1800 rpm, needless to say the off the line power is amazing. I still havnt had any tranny issues and am still using a stock torque converter. I am sure the Livernois kit is awesome, just look at the forum. But as anybody on here with forced induction can tell you, it is absolutly priceless to have good tech support and warranty. For some reason parts always seem to fail at the worst time possible. I can only speak from my experience with Allen (Nelson Performance) and Trick when i say they both bend over backwards to help and fix what you need... It my take a phone call or two to reach him he provides great service so obviously he is in demand, but Allen always comes through for you.
BTW, the only issue I have had really had nothing to do with Trick, and that was a loose silicon connector on the intake piping, 5 minutes and i was good to go...not to bad for 5000 miles of hard driving.
