PI Heads or P&P

Okay, whats the best bang for the buck. PI heads, or P&P heads. ON the 99 and up I would imagine with the stock heads P&P would be the way to go. And with that, exactely what do I need for a bullit intake. I know from my buddies personal experience he need a load of minor parts, a new alternator, throttle cables, **** like that. What should I expect?

Also, does the P&P job take life away from the heads, this will be my sort of daily driver. (I only drive 2 miles a day, too and from work, and that's only once or twice a week, I get rides from my friends at work)

What year car do you have? 99+ already have the PI heads on them.

What mods do you have and what is your final goal for the car. If you plan on making some serious HP later on down the street, it would be benifical for your long term goal. But if you dont have that many mods i dont think you will see that much more HP on a faily stock car.

While you are in there you might as well do Cams.

Then you have the PI heads. A good P+P job will not be cheap. Talking to a guy right now who is charging $1300 for the basic P+P and bigger valves. Since I will be in there anyway, I am going to be putting in different cams and valvesprings. I would like to see around 30 rwhp or so. So as far as "bang for the buck" goes, there are other ways of getting HP for cheaper but I am starting to get past that stage of modding. If you have a limited budget, look around the site and for some ideas on what to do. Of course I am assuming you dont have anything done right now. I started off with a complete exhaust change and a set of 3.73's or 4.10's gears and I would recommend that to anyone. Good luck.

Stage II heads is what you want. Standard stage I head will only flow around 15 more CFM. A stage two head will flow 50-60cfm.
