Keep saving for pi or buy gears?

Damaso · September 8th, 2007, 10:38 PM

What would you guys do if you were in my situation? I want to do the pi swap but will gears make my car that much faster? with my mods and 4.10 gears will i be able to win a race against a gtp, or 95z28 lt1, or 03GT vert? I want my car to be fast and I believe that PI is the way to go but your opinions will get me farther. I know with my mods and a pi swap I could beat or be equal with the cars listed above, but will gears.

pi swap man.

caintcatchmyGT · September 8th, 2007, 10:42 PM

I say full PI swap all the way

Damaso · September 8th, 2007, 10:51 PM

ill keep saving for pi but keep the comments comming. I have like $500 saved up so I have a lot to go to get to the $1500 kit, lol. Its hard to decide which car to mod the 88 or 98. I just got this cool saleen spoiler and cowl hood for it and painted so it looks good for now. maybe when the 98 is done ill get the 5.0 s/c'd.

I say throw the gears in and then save for the PI swap!

jersey98gt · September 8th, 2007, 11:58 PM

+1 You can piece that kit together for WAY cheaper. That's just a quick route to take and you pay for the convenience. You still got some cash to save, but shop around in the mean time. You can do it cheaper.

^ Yup . You can get the H/C/I plus install parts less than $1k.

96gtstang&V6 · September 9th, 2007, 05:21 PM

i just bought my pi heads, cams, and intake for $350. the guys i bought it from pretty much gave me the whole top end. i got the throttle body, injectors, fuel rails, all the hoses and wiring.

the injectors on my npi intake were yellow and the injectors on my pi intake are pink.. can someone please tell me what thats about??

bbrewer03 · September 9th, 2007, 05:48 PM

The colors indicated the different flows. I cant remember what exactly those two colors are but........thats why they're colored

96gtstang&V6 · September 9th, 2007, 06:36 PM
