not good at all,in fact it pointless to do anything without doing a pi swap first.

PI swap or PI motor, is only way to spend your money on 96-98 gts

I gained 81 rwhp from my PI MOTOR swap and Tune. 261rwhp, show me a PI head swap that did that and almost zero mods. Plus Now i have a s/c w/ 11lbs and didn't worry about compression ratios.

Don't wait your time with a Head swap unless you like making things hard on yourself. Only thing I would have done different would be a 4v. They both max out at the same rwhp but the 4v is better stock pre s/c.

I gained 72 rwhp from my PI swap and tune. I make the numbers in my sig with a PI swap, tune, intake, catted h-pipe, and cat back only.

I'm sorry but did you even read the last couple posts?? ...No you can't feel the different in 80hp.


BTW if there's a miscomunnicata a PI Swap equals Head, Intake & Cams.

The car pulls a lot harder and faster in higher RPM's. It feels like a totally different animal. However, after about 2 weeks I'm already bored with it and wantmore power.
