What would you guys say?
ok, so although im not going to do this right away, i stil want some good input into what you guys think i should do. there are a few options here: 1.) keep my 98 gt and keep doing bolt-ons (gears, tb/plenum,pullies, wheels, etc.) 2.) sell my car and get a 94-95 5.0 gt and do full bolt ons and like cams and possibly a s/c (b/c isnt it much cheaper to mod a 5.0?) 3.) sell my car and get a 99+ gt basic bolt ons (exhaust, intake, wheels tires, springs, tb/plenum you know what im talkin about.)
SO...the only thing thats really holding me back from selling my car is how pristine it is. my mods arnt bad, but i really want to keep up with my bro..freeunit...you all know him im sure. its a constant competition with us. i just recently did a cobra front end conversion and it is near perfect, the whole car is in great near perfect condition and i know that it i sell it, i prob wont be able o get a 99+ and mod it for 8 grand or whatever i can get out of my car. so please leave any sugestions and your advice.
thanks,
Sean

In all honesty instead of doing a PI swap just do a 4v swap and spend the little extra cash. I was gonna do the pi swap and the money i spent combined with the pain in the *** to do it, I decided i would rather just pull out my motor and drop a new one in end of story, u can get a 4v cobra block complete with radiator, harness, and computer for around 3,200

RE: What would you guys say?
well if i was to spend over 3 graand, i would more than likely just do a vortech or something. cuz gears and all the other bolt ons will help me and more than likely get me in the high 13's and for right now thats what im going for thanks guys keep it coming!

PI swap, then get blown!
The other guys are right, your car probably looks super sexy with that cobra front end conversion and if all you want is more speed theres no need to sell the car to obtain it. PI swap...then get blown! Unless you just like the new edge style so much more...like I do. But this is all about you, if you love your car, just make it faster!
