PI Cams

[97ponygt]

I saw these PI Cams on ebay and was wondering if these would fit in my car. It's a 97 GT. Also is there anything else that I will need for the install if these fit? My last question is with these fit in both Romeo and Windsor engine blocks and how do you tell if your engine is a Romeo of Windsor block? All information is greatly appreciated.

Heres the link for the cams:

- Yes they will fit.
- You need PI cam bolts because yours are a different size - although you can use your cam sprocket.
- Your engine is a Romeo.

yeah dont forget the bolts, i didnt know i needed different bolts untill i had my whole engien apart, then had to go on a wild goose chase to find the bolts, i ended up finding them in a pi cop car at a junk yard near my house

Alright cool, so all I need if I get these are pi cam bolts? How much should I expect for labor and how much hp should I expect to gain? Thanks for all the help.

Do it yourself and it costs nothing Lots of write-up on here about swapping cams. And I think its 10-15 horses

 

[97ponygt]

I've seen a few of the write-ups and I'm afraid I'll screw something up. Thanks for the hp estimate I've read about pi cam swaps but could never find out how much hp they produced. Thanks

YOU WILL NOTICE THE GAIN!!! get a pi intake too, i dyno at 255.5 rwhp running rely rich, its 100% worth it, probaly one of the best dollar per hp gain of a npi 4.6

 

[97ponygt]

Is there a way to know if it's a PI intake as well? I ask this because the person I bought the car from just but a new Intake manifold on. When you say PI intake you mean the intake manifold right?

yes i mean intake manifold, on a pi intake the first intake runner will go to the driver side, a npi intake will go to the passenger side

Thanks for the help I really appreciate it!

Your npi with intake/cams put down 255 to the wheels? I'd like to put my auto on that dyno for the inflated numbers


Another item for the pi cam swap that would be a good idea to purchase--new valve cover gaskets

Try reading his mods before you insult him - he has PI cams and intake and meant to say 225.5rwhp.

 

[d98gt]

Wasn't insulting him by any means, though 255 was typed and the information in the post is going to be viewed more than his signature being that not everyone has them enabled.

 

[98COBRA281]

oops... yeah, i ment to type 225.5 i wish it was 255.5

Will these Cam bolts work? I found them on cjponyparts, here's the link http://www.parts123.com/parts123/yb.dll?parta~dyndetail~Z5Z5Z50000016d~Z5Z5Z5ACNSU~P4.95~~~~S2GM0VWIV976851322014a~Z5Z5Z5~Z5Z5Z50000016d

What write-up do you recomend that I use? Is there one that has the tools I need and a detailed step by step procedure? Thanks.

 

[97ponygt]

Almost forgot how many bolts do I need?

 

[d98gt]

You'll need two bolts.
