I've been thinkin about my future mods and it occurs to me that with all the money i would be spending the best bang for the buck would be pi cams and intake. My question is where could i go to find these two things and if i get the pi intake, do i need the pi heads as well. And if anyone knows of a site where it tells you what you would need to adapt to the NPI motor and how to install them? Is the best place to find them just to go to your local ford motor dealership and buy them?

another question is if i do the pi cam swap, are there any precautions that i should take? Like, would the pi cams cause damage to the engine if engine has say 90k miles. Not hard miles though either, car is in great working shape

Hey I am acutally going to be doing the same thing and what I have heard is the intake is about 160 and cams you can buy off ebay for cheap.. I am going to be doing a pi headswap because the cams scare me.

I did the intake swap and it rocks. I was going to do the cams but have decided to do the entire headswap. So I have PI cams for sale, PM me if interested.

www.steeda.com has PI heads fully assembled w/cams and valvetrain for $375.00 each and intake is $199.00 Otherwise, MM&FF has an ongoing article where they are using ported PI Heads and Comp. Cams cams and valvetrain from www.totalengineairflow.com. You could probably find the PI heads on ebay or try www.stangparts.com (Mustang Parts Specialties) 770-867-2644

yes, the only thing you may want to upgrade is your intake if you don't hve one with an aluminum crossover, which won't give you any hp at all.
