PI intake swap on 97 GT
I recently just got my car back from having the Mongoose Kit SQ trim put on. I put down 315rwhp and 360tq. This is through an auto and completely non pi heads/cams/intake. My next step is a Pi intake manifold swap from livernois motorsports. I was just wondering if anybody has done the swap on a blown 97 GT and about how much of a gain they got? I was told that i may even see gains of close to 30-35rwhp, now this seems high to me, but any experience/thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks guys!

RE: PI intake swap on 97 GT
when you do a PI swap you up the compression almost 10 to 1 i'm not exactly sure on the numbers and i here high compression and boost dont mix, thats just from what i'm told... thats why i took out myPI swapjust put in a stock PI engine so i can later run boost.

I have the livernois kit with my twin turbo non pi........I made over 400hp with it. It is a great mod worth way more than pulling the heads. Its about a 4 hour job and you will notice the difference right away.

RE: PI intake swap on 97 GT
yoteehunter-thats good to hear! any idea on how much of a pick up or estimate? I heard around 15rwhp n/a...closer to 30rwhp if power adder. If thats the case, the intake will definately be my next step! Id be thrilled to have my car close to 350rwhp without even touching the heads/cams and THROUGH AN AUTO!! No, i do not plan on touching my heads...especially at this rate i wont have to to max out my motor.
