Hey everyone, I just joined here today. I have been a member at allfordmustangs.com for years though, but have decided to join a new forum for some more perspectives and opinions. I set up my profile so you all know what my car is and mods but for now I will just list. ( also, just so you all know my only plans for the car is to keep it as my daily driver, but I want it to be a very quick daily driver)
1997 Ford Mustang GT (auto) Woodward Dream Cruise Edition
- Borla X-pipe Side Exhaust w/ Flowmaster Mufflers
- BBK Cold Air Intake
- Ford Racing 4.10s
- Holley Fuel Pump & BBK Fuel Pressure Regulator
- Auto Transmission Shift Kit w/ Cooler
- Bullitt Suspension Kit (shocks, struts, springs & swaybars)
- MM Rear lower control Arms
- MM Caster Camber Plates
- Nitto NT555 Extreme Performance Tires
- SCT Custom Tune
Ok, now that you know what I have, I have a couple questions. I dont have a ton of mechanical knowledge but Im learning as I go. I have done a lot of research on doing the PI Swap and have asked alot of questions on other forums as well as researching here.
I am considering beginning the swap but I am wondering about the order of installations.
What I was thinking of doing is to get the PI intake installed first.
Then once I save up the necessary funds to buy the PI heads and Cams and installation costs I will do those next. Is it ok to do this in this order? Also, I have heard from another guy on another message board that replacing the npi heads with pi heads is not a must and that it will only give you around 5-10hp. Is this the general consensus here as well or are there real benefits to replacing npi heads with Pi? Thanks for the help!
