this may be a dumb question, but how do you know if you had a pi swap?

Non PI intakes have taller and wider runners. ther nonpis were more flat and square. Also a PI intake goes all the way down to the valley of the block, where as a non pi is shallow and leaves a gap.

also, your car will pull alot harder than your friends with non pi.

PI square ports, Non-PI round ports.

PI on the left, Non-PI on the right.

Nope, not really. The runners are easy to tell from the top. The Non-PI's are smooth all the way around, where the PI's have a distinct hard edge on them where the ports square off, to meet the head. If someone could find a couple of pics from the top of each, you'd see.

Notice how the runners taper and square on the PI's right near the injector bosses.
