Well It took 2 days to do, but I got the swap done I'll have pics and more posted later tonight. The car is getting dyno tuned right now and I'll know the power soon
List of parts that when on

Ported PI heads PI intake, and stock pi cams
Bassani Mid headers
Custom made mid pipe
C&L 80mm maf
coolant mod
and a dyno tune

I did order a set of VT stage 1 cams, but I could not get them in time for the swap, and after reading all the bad stuff that happened with VT I cancelled my order. The last time I dyno'd my car I made around 230hp with a tune, and with out a tune I made 217hp. I'm hoping for big numbers!

I'm guessing 275-285 rwhp. Post up some numbers!

If you would have gotten the cams in time you would defiantly hit 300+rwhp

Well I got the car dyno'd it made 250rwhp w/out a tune @5400rpm and 289rwtq @ 4200rpm. After Randy Haywood tuned my car it made 271rwhp@5600rpm and 301rwtq@4200. Thats right 21hp in just a tune! Thats for people that say you dont need a tune after a pi swap. And Randy told me theres more power to come if he had bumped the time up, maybe around 10 more rwhp there! The car @ 6000rpm made 80rwhp over the non-pi heads! The power was well over the setup I had before. I will post some pics soon!

Nice job. I can't wait to get mine done. I got the heads and the intake is on the way. I think I am going to go with some different cams though.

What did you end up spending in the long run?
I imagine the difference is amazing in the car.

well I got alot of the parts from ebay, heads, headers, and other parts

heads w/ cams $250 Ebay
Pi intake $80 Ebay
c&l maf $0 Gift
headers $350 Ebay
head change kit $100
Misc. Gaskets $190
Oil/coolent/spark plugs $75
tune $150
Misc. parts $100

Total cost $1295

Not too bad for 80+ hp @6000rpm and 55 peak hp, all at the rear wheels and is always there. Plus like I said before, theres still room for power in the tune still.

I still think its pretty cheap to go n/a on a non-pi car over buying a new or used blower. IF I got the cams ($500 bucks) I would have been well over 300hp and I havent see too many blown non-pi 2v do it any cheaper. I've seen some blown non-pi's make as much as I'm making n/a! If you do it right you can make some power n/a.
