After the pi swap

[Bridges77]

I have a 98 Gt with stock npi block. I have pi cams and intake. Also c/a, stock headers, off road h-pipe, catback and 4:11 rear end gears. What should I do next for more power? With the list above it pulls really nice but now it’s slow to me, any suggestions? A power adder is down the road.
thanks

Did you do the PI heads?

Aftermarket plenum and throttle body would be a good addition as well

No,stock npi’s. Is it worth doing the heads too? Or should I get custom cams for the npi’s?

Well, it depends on your long term goals. If you were sticking with N/A, the PI heads would give you a big bump in HP, but it would also bunp your CR up to around 10.5:1 meaning you now need 91+ octane and might put a dent in your forced induction plans.

full PI swap, (heads, cam, intake) plus exhaust, plenum and TB would get you in the 290-310HP crank range. Aftermarket cams in those heads might get you a little bit more.

Once I swapped the to pi cams and intake 411 gears and exhaust it really woke up. Just looking for a little more power.

Not sure which direction to go
