what does PI refer to?
PI = Performance Improvement

all 99-04 2v 4.6 are PI which is basicaly means there are different cams/heads/lower intake from the 96-98 4.6 2v

this is the reason for the 220hp to 260hp jump between 98 and 99 cars

Any catback is completely worthless horsepower wise.

well i m still in high school and i make between 3 to 4 thousand a year
if I get a winter job. My parents payed half on the car and dont want to pay anyomre.

Graduate high school, get a job, or go to college, or to a vocational school. Invest your money, start on your mutal funds and money markets so you have a fall back stash somewhere...

Then save your money for some mods.

My 2 cents lol.


Or get nitrous like everyone else says

you can get a kennybell supercharger for about 1k and put it on your self all the directions come with it and it is realy simple to put on and if you put on 9lbs of boost you will ad almost another 100 hp to your car
