I have a question for the forum..
I bought a 1997 mustang gt 2v last month.. I wanted to awaken the inner beast in her. I was doing some research on comp cams XE270AH. Definitely will wake her up. My question is will it work well with pi intake or is there some sort of modification in store in the future????

Hi,
Congrats’s on the new Pony! The PI upgrade actually reaps 90% of its benefits by the intake alone, giving it to 45HP+ kick to 260Hp from the 215BHP it had come with.
It’ll work with the PI intake, but you’re looking at the exhaust being non-restrictive, an intake system that will do the same.
The 270 cam(S) will wake it up, but you need support it with other mods. There’s many other Cams that may suit you better for usable torque/Hp on the street. What are your goals, this a DD, lot of highway driving, some Strip, etc?
Building it equally will give you the optimal gains, and drivability. Tuning will get it running at its best. Just how much do you want to wake it up?.
Have a budget?
Best!
-John
