I would justa stick to the heads you have. The PI heads will raise your compression to a non-blower friendly level. It'd be good for nitrous though. I'm pretty sure the saleen blower will fit.

i had a vortech on my last mustang( 2000 GT with a V2) and i wasn't impressed at all, i would really like to go with a pd blower this time(also don't want anything extreme since i am going to rebuild my engine but not go forged, just don't need that power) not to mention that i can't afford it, that is y i want to go with the saleen blower

oh okay, i personally dont know too much about the saleen blowers so maybe somebody else can chime in. If you aren't looking to spend a lot and want some decent power i would just spray it.

I would suggest a KB 5psi non-intercooled twinscrew. The 5psi should be safe to run with the higher compression you have with the PI heads. It'd prolly be about the same price as the Saleenmaybe a little cheaper.
