RE: 96 vs 99
The difference is the Heads/Cams and Intake with the majority of power coming from the Intake and Cams.
You can pick up the 99 up intake/cams fairly cheap. Check out the corrals for sale area...very actice.

droptoppony your car looks awesome!!! i love it
oooh and if you are considering a PI swap, it is a good idea if your engine is low milage. but if you have high milage like mine, it would not be worth it. my bottom end is weak... i'm planning on completely overhaulin the engine within a year or two to make it PI equivilant and blower ready... just my $0.02
