sucks that happened.how long ago was that? i guess i was a little skeptical about there heads even though they seem to have it fixed so i went with vt instead.

It was about a year and a half or so, we all learn from mistakes ... Good choice on going VT, Scott and the guys really have a good program over there...

if you are building a mild street car why not spend the 250-350 and through on a set of pi or even find a set without cams for a littl cheaper and put some cams in yourself with a stang doesnt every little bit help and count

sonicblue · January 17th, 2007, 11:00 AM

i was just thinking that cause a lot of people sell the cams and heads together already assembled. yea vt def knows there stuff and they have great customer service.

That same power can be made with the right cam on a npi head.

Don't get me wrong the P.I heads have their place.

As you can see I work on P.I heads as well....

yeah thats true but heads are expensive while you can get cams/intake for less than the head itself and net waayyy more.most bang for your bucks.

used PI intake last found about $75shipped
used PI Cams roughly $60-100shipped

while the head costs $300-400 shipped (heavy weight packaging) used and stock coming from a previous '00-'04 mustang.

i just picked up a set of heads from an 02 they were 258.82 and 36 to ship so i thought that was a good deal

jagstang96 · January 17th, 2007, 05:13 PM

so do you guys think that its better to do the hole pi motor swap or just the heads and intake now keep in mind I have about 140000 miles i would like everyones opinions or sugestions ????

jEEd · January 17th, 2007, 05:49 PM

with that much miles 140k miles, i'd try to find a pi motor for cheap(unless you think your motor is in great condition), junkyard or used at a reasonable price. but if you want performance on your old motor or not enough money, just do PI Cams & PI Intake Manifold (roughly 150-200 for used good condition parts), the heads are really not worth it in my opinion to spend 300-400 for just heads, (not ported/polished) for just 5-10rwhp... unless you have money to spend

i'd port/polish my NPI heads than buy a PI head imo.

theres my $0.02
