I was wondering if the GTE Head swap on the GE bottom would be better than going NA-T? Can anyone chime in this process.

The only advantage in doing that is the FFIM. You can run the GTE ECU on the GE - unless you plan on sticking with stock twins. I don't know for sure, but I hear there are more injector options for the top feed GE fuel rail.

What are your horsepower goals?

My hp goals is 450 to just start out.

Better Camshaft option, FFim, Cam sensor on the cylinder head so it mean better cam signal pick up,Better exhaust manifold option.

edit since you said you wanted 450whp.
Get a fuel rail aftermarket rail and some high impedance top feed injetcors.

I been seeing a lot of stuff on craigslist going for cheap: 2jzgte head - 200.00 and the intake manifold for 2jzgte was 150. So i was just wondering.

It will cost you an arm and 6 legs if you try to peice it together, not worth it IMO.

Imma take you word for it.... Ill just stick with my original plan. XS Power FFIM, ARP Head Studs, OEM TT headgasket, some 440s and a T-67 for my basic build to start

yeah unless you have the whole setup with manifolds and head sitting in front of you its not really ideal.
you would still have to install the new oil pump w/ crank sensor and gear on the crank.

with all that money you could just go straight to a FFIM on the ge head you probably have already.
although at 450hp, the stock intake will give you a better powerband than a FFIM.
you just have to fight the IAT's with a turbo blanket, some careful wrapping of the downpipe, and sensible intercooler routing.
