is there an article running around (A GOOD ONE) on howto properly do a pi headswap on a 96-98 gt? something that includes detailed steps / along with what tools/extra partrs you'll need (grease, etc)

i went crazy today after I lost to a cammed/exhaust/tuned/geared gt today by 12 car lengths, my nitrous is useless! so im going south this weekend to pick up the hi flow heads/intake and perhaps cams.

i dont feel like waiting for a shop to do it, so i want a good write up :SNSign:

The Ford Shop manual has an excellent write-up.

I've been thinking about this too. Is a custom tune a must after you get it done?

i'd say yes to that. your raising your compression, airflow and hp. anytime you do that you should get a tune

boss article has been down awhile.

the swap isn't to hard at all. If you pickup the heads/cams/intake then contact Randy S on MD in the Ford parts section. You tell him what you have and what your doing and he will send you the needed nuts bolts gaskets tube etc...
I did not get a tune after my PI swap but would have benefited from one. If you go aftermarket cams then tune will be needed.
