Im trying to figure out if I should rebuild my engine (96 gt)and put Pi heads on it or just get a rebuilt 1999-04 pi engine for $2200 with a 3 year waranty.

My main question is how much more power does a npi engine with pi heads make than a stock pi engine. I know that the npi will have more compression with the pi heads but I wonder if I should go that route or just buy the stock pi engine with the warranty

Im not looking to go crazy with money but im willing to spend about $3000.
I really dont want a used engine unless its veru low mileage and even then you dont know how it was treated.

stock npi engine=215hp
stock pi engine pi heads=260hp
stock npi engine, pi heads with stock pi cams,pi intake=?hp

Anyone?

It will be very minor from what i've seen. Maybe 10 hp at most.

Ok thanks, i didnt figure it was much but Hey you dont know if you dont ask.

I will probaly just get the pi long block with the 3 year warranty and have the heads ported with some decent cams, would like to make close to n/a 300rwhp.

I think im gonna go with modularheads 300hp pack with there stage 2 heads and stage 2 cams and get my corrent stock engine rebuilt, how much should it cost to rebuild the bottum end with stock oem parts.

You need to see if your bores are worn, most likely they are not. Get new rings, bearings, oil pump and a gasket kit and you are good to go for about $500 not counting labor.

if ur spending 3000 bucks on a stock long block, it would be hard for me to not buy an MMR short block.

I would love to but how more would it cost to get the same power?

I have been looking at thier long block for $4500 but al it has is stock pi heads and stock pi cams, wouldnt it make the same power as a npi block with pi heads?

yes.... in actuality maybe a little less if you lower the compression for future boost plans.

but the internals are forged. will take 500+rwhp all day long.
