Do a search you will find alot of info on this subject.
The search button is your friend lol.
Just plan on tapping the intake for the second coolant temperature
sensor.

OK so im ready to install my new PI intake. Does anyone know the part # for the new waterpump tube that I'm going to need? And could someone recomend a good walkthrough article for this? Thanks

coolant nipple F75Z-8555-AA
coolant tube XR3Z-18B402-AA
water pump O-ring F1VY-8507-A

and you'll prob need a different alt brkt, but that part # depends on which intake you're using


whatever you need, we prob have in stock

That's cool and all but without some adaptors of some kind you'll have a gross mismatch between the ports on the intake and on the heads. You'll actually lose power if you just bolt it on.

You are correct Red2000GT.

I don't believe Red2000GT is saying you are going to make less power overall, what he is saying is that you are limiting the potential of making the most power possible with the PI heads. Anytime time you induce that kind of turbulence that would be associated with that type of runner misalignment, you are going to hurt your potential for power. Of course you will show gains on the dyno, but they won't be as high as if you were to have the heads/intake runners modified or adapted to be aligned and provide a laminar flow with no shear all the way to the back of the valve.
