Gearbanger 101 said:No, it's a fine idea, you just won't reap the benefits as much as you would with a '99-up without the head swap (and intake if you decide to use a centrifugal blower). Swapping the heads on a '96-'98 bumps the compression ratio up into the 10.4:1 range. This combined with the already sub-par strength of the stock bottom end doesn't exactly make them ideal for supercharging after the swap. But you'll still turn out decent numbers without....just not as good as a '99-up.
That setup would cost almost as much as a Vortech S/C system but give you half the horses.MiamiFan1354 said:If I wanted to do the FRPP PI heads and Bullet intake, what are the "additional modifications and parts" I would need?
Joel's98GT said:you don't want 4.10's with a blower.
A good way to go if your set on a blower is swap in PI intake and PI cams on your stock heads, this will make around 35rwhp pretty cheaply on an NA car and even more with boost. Also it leaves your CR nice for the huffer. with a blower and the PI intake and cams you will see numbers a little lower than a blown 99+ car. but you will still be very happy.
Being that your track has a density alt. of -1244ft below sea level [Joel's98GT said:from a 98 person, if you were to do a headswap and a 100 hp shot personally i would be pissed if i weren't in 11's
Mel96GT said:One guy here (Mr Jones?) did run a Vortech with a PI intake w/plates on his son's '98 GT non-PI engine. According to him it worked well but it was running lean at 5000+ rpm's. He said it needed bigger injectors and a matching MAF. I would recommend a PI intake WITH plates if you plan to go FI in the future, since there will be a lot of turbulence without the plates. I plan to do a similar setup real soon so I'll keep you all posted.
Thank god for long winded know it alls like me, huh.tomustang said:thanks brian, i didn't feel like typing all of that
That's a little light at 8-10psi, don't you think. Even through a stock NPI longblock? I would have guessed another 20-30 on top of that?squares98 said:300-330rwhp
CanadaStang said:Being that your track has a density alt. of -1244ft below sea level [] , yes you should see 11's
Joel's98GT said:i agree, i don't have plates, but if i were to use forced induction, i would probibly use plates for that reason.
