Default just go all out?

what do you guys think i should do w/ my car right now? it's got 93,000 miles on it with some intake and exhaust mods. i was planning in about a couple years to sell it and maybe get another GT(99+) or a cobra. but now i'm thinkin i should just keep what i got and get the PI heads and forged pistons and rods, you know just go all with it. do PI heads on my car put down more hp then the 99-04 GT's? gimme some suggestions

good either way, however I like the style of a 99+ more. Once these 05
's hit your style will slip back like the 5.0's

I like the fox bodies

anyway, if I had to do it all over again I woulda gotten either a fox or a 99 GT, your cool with your 98 I just don't care for the stock bodystyle all that much - but you can mod the body as well [8D]

Just for ****s I got a quote of 600 bucks for the cams alone. (gonna do it myself if they EVER get shipped)

PI swap you are talking a guess of 1000 dollars for install, plus whatever it costs you to get the stock heads/intake/valve covers (i have seen em pretty cheap), plus a tune. Tunes could run anywhere from 200 to 500 bucks depending on if you need a chip etc.

I dont even want to think about how much getting a bottom end installed would cost. Alot.

LOL. If I were you would spend the extra few bucks and get a cobra. You will be suprised how much of a differance there is between the cobra and the GT.
