I have a '96 GT 'Vert. I've done the pi intake swap, bassani x w/cats, Magnapacks, & MGW short throw. I've already bought a set of pi heads, & I have a set of Steeda u/d pullies waiting to go on. My hp goal is roughly 300. This is my daily driven car, & I have emission in Ga. I was close to buying a set of Comp 270 cams, but a concern for passing emissions came up. So, I'm not sure exactly what direction to go. Should I do the pi head swap, & get a set of cams to go with them, or just put a set of cams in my npi heads. I also know I need gears, & eventually long tubes.

If your goals are 300rwhp. get the comp stage 2s with your pi heads. you will never see 300 without pi heads. comp reccomends 355 or better gears for those cams. dont waste your money on cams for your npi heads.

Are Comp 270 cams, Stage 2 cams. ....Also, what the chances on those cams triggering my CEL? I was assuming 3.73 gears, although I know everyone say 4.10. I drive from Ga. to Fla. sometimes, & was thinking the 3.73"s would be better.
