ok guys what kinda power gains can I expect from a PI headswap and Vt stage 1 cams on my 98 GT. I have flowmaster 40's dumped and I am soon to have my 4.30 rear gears installed. So if you guys could help it would be appreciated. thanks

i would imagine that the power gains will be pretty good.i hope they will be anyway,because my pi head/intake swap is in the process right now.it will be finished friday morning.only thing i used different than you is i am using the stock pi cams right now.
i will let you know how much my swap helped if u'rs isn't finished by friday!!

I have heard anywere up to 60 rwhp with the pi heads and cams and intake mani, I will post dyno numbers of my install next week.

i'd be lying if i told ya.i wanted to go get my car dynoed before i did the swap,but didn't get a chance.if i had to guess at it i'd say around 170-190 maybe.
that damn mod bug keeps biting me.i woke up this morning with the thought of ordering some mac long tubes and matching dr gas x pipe...lol!!

i just want my car to be faster i am tired of having a turd for a car lol...Hopefully I will be able to make around 280hp to the flywheel.

those mods should put you in the 250 rwhp range.
do you have an auto or 5sd...auto rob a little more power.
if you add a free flowing upper intake and a good mid pipe to your exhaust you should gain another 15rwhp with the head swap/cam.

You should be at 275-280rwhp with the head swap and those cams if you have all the little bolt ons. If my cams are ever shipped out I could start on my headswap :/
yeah i have to catch my friends vehicles now..lol....One has a 97 SVT cobra with a 5 speed, BBK throttle body and thats it i think and says he is pushing 325 or so at the fly and the other friend has a 2001 Ford SVT lightning supercharged with around 385 to the flywheel. SO i am stuck at the bottom again with 225hp. Now I must be able to get atleast 325 flywheel hp outta my car so I can beat the cobra. Oh yeah I will also have 4.30 rear gears in my car.
one more question I thought you didnt need a tune with the stage 1's but here lately it seems like you need one so i was only getting the 1's because I didnt need a tune but if i have to get one then how much more HP could i pick up going to a stage 2 VT cams?

.035 is good for the high compression from the swap, .054 is stock.

why do you say that? Is the lightning that much heavier? or whats its problem to the point i would beat it before the cobra.

It is an F-150 remember?
I've seen cobras run sub 14.0 stock. IF your friend can drive good he'll beat the cobra.
