Hey there,

So I found a set of cans for the car but was wondering if there would be any ptv issues. The specs on the cans are... 2760 Hot Street/Strip N/A Camshaft. Duration @ .050 242/232 Lift .550/.550 . All I have are pi heads from a 2000 gt. I know ill need to upgrade my valve springs. So anything else ill need for these? I just used the frpp head change kit.. I mention this because I read you want a head gasket of 0.036 thickness.

I've searched high and low... I'm only finding these are too big of cams to run in a stock motor... Guess ill keep looking for some comp cams.

You may want to research valve clearances before buying a cam. In 2000 the pistons were dished to mate with the pi heads. Im assuming the pistons in your 96 are stock? Meaning they don't share the dish piston that was installed in 2000. Long story short, to run a hot cam, you may have to change your pistons to accomodate the lift (something with a valve relief). (Not sure of a good aftermarket piston for this motor) I don't have a lot of experience working on modulars, but plenty of engine building knowledge. - Also, keep in mind that your cam is only going to be able to flow the amount of air that your intake and exhaust can move. Choosing a cam depends largely upon supporting parts. This is why most often cam manufacturers will "help" you with cam selection - In order to provide you with the cam that will perform the best when mated with your installed parts and application. Good luck!

You can run those cams if you notch your pistons and use modified or aftermarket intake valves.

Thanks viper. I understand and im running stock pistons, in my 96. Well, if anyone is looking for these cams search eBay and you should find a set for around 100 bucks.
