RE: PI intake is on!
Wow, thanks for the info. Sounds like a great mod. Except i doubt i will see 230. Im at 207 right now. VERY doubtful i will even see 15hp out of it. I have dyno'd all my mods and to see what the manufactures say you will get to what i actually got was a slap in the face.
I will probably get an 04. Still fit? Should i get new intake gaskets? CTS.... tapped? What im really looking for is something up high in the RPM. Because i have me on video whopping a 99 Cobra off the line all the way into the beginning of 3rd. then he just blows me away like im standing still. I really enjoy the way my car performs from stop light to stop light. Anytihng past upper 2nd gear is useless. It feel likes im at cruise control. It sucks.
Casper, all you need is the PI intake, PI heater/coolant tube, NPI gaskets (i used my old ones), some RTV. Get the newer intake with the aluminim crossover if you can....I got a 2000 which is still all plastic , but hopefully it will not crack. The driver's side CTS will have to be tapped into the crossover or placed on the block near the motor mount, whichever you want. That is pretty much it....it's a pretty painless job. I'm sure for you it will be a breeze. I'm very pleased with the results...it breathes much better!

The whole swap with heads and intake is worth about 60 horses if done correctly, because the increased compression from the PI heads on a non-PI engine is worth about 10 extra horses.

HAHA. Well, now i know what NOT to do. lol. Thanks. So all i need is the PI inake, PI gaskets, tap a hole in the intake, put sensor in and use PI hose? Easy to me... lol. Then i'll dyno it and tell you how much its really worth.

Hey DEVIN..... Im just remembering people talking about the PI intake on a NPI engine will not clear the stock hood? How does it fit?

The new heater tube runs along the side of the intake so it will fit down in there.
