If you cant afford a pi head swap for a 96 gt, would getting the air intake and the manifold hold you off for a while. How much power will it add? Is it worth doing the air intake and manifold or would the air intake be cool?
 
I just did mine last week. I really wasn't sold on how much I would gain from a complete headswap vs a better flowing intake. For 260 bucks, give or take a few, you can get a complete swap kit and RTV the intake to the stock heads as some have done. I went a step further and bought adapter plates for $112 to attach my intake to the stock heads. Both methods seem to be good but I just wanted the extra knowledge of having a little better flow from the PI intake to NPI heads.

Now by air intake and manifold I believe what you are refering to are one and the same. It is not two different items unless you are meaning something different than a lower intake manifold.
 
interesting idea. i would think more gains would come thru the heads swap vs. just the intake, but if moving to a centri blower in the future, maybe the intake swap would be the way to go and use the extra $ for the blower :shrug:
