PI Intake or Stock?
Here's the deal. I want to put about $1,000 into my stock, except Flowmasters and K&N Filter w/ silencer removed, 98 GT. I currently have a cracked intake manifold which is causing my coolant fluid to leak and causes the engine to overheat if the fluid isn't topped-off. So, first thing first - I need to fix that problem.
I've been hearing all sorts of things and can't decide if I should replace my intake with a stock one or put in a PI Intake Adapter Kit. What real advantages do I gain by spending the $700 and going with the PI Intake? (Remember, my car is completely stock right now). Can I use my stock headers or do I have to put on PI headers? Do I gain HP just by doing this?
If I go with the PI intake I'm down $700, what is the best use of the other $300? x-pipe, air flow kit, pulleys, gears...what?
If I go with the stock intake, I can get one for around $400 or find one from one of you guys who changed out your stock with the PI intake for around $100. That leaves me more play money...what do you recommend I spend it on then?
