Be like me and buy a craigslist supercharger.... bolt ons are also nice.

Id like to do a PI swap and cams, but I dont know how and Im not big on paying 1k - 1.5k for labor. So I just live in my means and stick with stuff I can do.

I would recommend doing it professionally though, sometimes letting a pro do it saves you alot of unwanted hassle.

You'll have ptv contact w/ those stage 2's neways........ Your best be would be to stay w/ the stock pi cams or go w/ some comp 262's.... anything else w/a higher duration you will have ptv contact...... IF you decide you really want the stage 2's you can have your pistons flycut. NOTE: You will lose bottom end power w/ the bigger cams.......

mr97stanggt · September 20th, 2009, 04:52 PM

so what parts will i need for a pi sap with ported polished heads

you can do stage 2 cams without flycutting the pistons. you just have to get new intake valves or get your current intake valves margin machined down. I have done several with no ptv issues.

low end torque loss is minimal you will more then make up for it up top.
