So with that said, if i just get some good cams (better than the PI cams) and the PI intake how would that fair against the standard complete PI swap? More specifically, how much does the actual PI heads add.

The next question is what is the difference between stage I and stage II cams. I first looked at American muscle and they only have 2 sets of cams that will fit my car. Comp Cams Stage I Xtreme Energy XE262AH Camshafts (96-04 4.6L 2V) and Comp Cams Stage II Xtreme Energy XE270AH Camshafts (96-04 4.6L 2V). Are these good cams or are they overpriced and i can get the same quality/better cams elsewhere? These are between $520-$600.

Months ago my car started kind of clumnking when down shifting just to a stop and sometimes when accelerating. Yesterday the overdrive light came on when I started the car and it was blinking. This is the only time it has done this. I probably should have had my car looked at when it started but had other things to fix on the car which were more important. F.Y.I I replaced the braked a two weeks ago. I do see a small amount of fluid under the back of the car where the gears would be but is is a minimal amount. What do you think the problem is. I am having the car looked at tomorrow but just wanted your opinions. I do have a heator core leak that has not been fixed yet but I dont think this is related. Maybe I am wrong.
