well this aint he section to post it, but for future reference it stands for "performance improved" and its for the 4.6 stang. from 96-98 the 4.6 sohc had crappy heads intake and cams, that was all improved in 99 and the its called a pi engine, and a pi swap is when the heads cams and intake are taken from this motor and put on a 96-98 motor.

Are you sure? because the 4v in 98 was rated at 320hp, vs the 96-97 4v with 305hp

pi applies to the dohc motors but a 96-98 with a pi swap will make more power than a 99-04
