Kinda new to mustangs, just bought a '96 GT 2 weeks ago, and many of my stang-owning friends said that I should get PI Heads, same ones found on the 99+ Mustangs...I've been searching online for a while now, and haven't found a good site to purchase them from. I also think that the mere ~50hp gain is not worth $1300.00. Just need some tips on where to buy them, how much you paid, and where I can get them installed, because i do not feel "up to the challenge" of installing them myself. I'm 16 anyways, don't know a TON about cars yet. Im in the Detroit area, so anyone from there please respond...Thanks alot Stangers!

The first advise I can give you is that 50 hp for a $1500 is a bargain. People pay $700 for exhaust, $200 for a plenum, $500 for headers. And for what like 25- 30 hp. Hp is about $60-$90 per hp on average, at least for bolt ons.
okay...first you wont get 50hp. and remember when you get the pi heads you have to get the pi intake. and might as well get the pi cams. MM&FF got the Full Pi Swap and put it on a slightly modded 97GT (bolt ons). and got 51rwhp. so no matter what it is worth the 1300. but you could get a set of used heads,cams, and an intake for anywhere between 400-800 bucks.

You could always drive it for awhile and see how you like the power you got. If you want more you can look around for a wrecked 99+ Stang and do a motor swap. If you just do the PI swap, Parkway Ford has the cheapest complete Pi swap that I could find $1325.00 but then figure another $1000.00 to get it installed if you don't want to tackle the project yourself. Search ebay and you may find everything you need for 1/2 the price of new stuff.
The cheapest way for extra ponies would be to get the PI intake and cams, but you won't gain as much as the complete headswap.
