so i bought a 96 GT back in june, runs really good. a little to good if you ask me. all it has is exhaust and a k/n. this car feels just as fast as my 02 gt that i had a couple of years ago. how exactly do you tell if the PI swap has been already done? the intake has been replaced because it has the aluminum coolant crossover. thanks, any info would be great!!

You can look at the intake manifold to see if its a PI manifold or a NPI. On which side does the runner come from first?

Atleast you have the aluminum crossover for now and don't have to worry about it cracking and leaking coolant everywhere. The pi intake swap is worthwhile, especially if you pair it up with some pi cams. Both of these mods can be found for extremely cheap and somewhat basic to install.
