When doing a PI swap... Do you have to replace the HEADs? Or is it ok just to replace the intake???

RE: Pi
what good is the swap if you only do the intake? the heads are the real power gainer for you in the PI swap.

Actually it's the intake that has the most gains

no not really, the heads are the least restrictive part. it is the cams and intake, but mainly the intake

RE: Pi
you dont HAVE to do the heads, but if its financially feasible, might as well do the whole swap at the same time

If I ever get another NPI GT, I'm not doing a PI swap. Just look for a whole engine. It's so much easier.
