i was told that my 98 gt with a pi swap and tune only, would out run the newer pi equipped cars. is this true, are am i being lead on? what do you guys think that have the pi swap done already?

I'm 20 miles from New Orleans. We can find out

to answer your question, I'd say with equal mods it'll be a drivers race. I don't think the slight bump in compression is going to make it a sure win.

It probably wouldn't be a definite win If you used all stock parts, such as cams and headers. I had stage 2 cams and longtubesand made 270whp/280wtq after a tune, baseline before tune was 250 something.

Correct!

I have a 2004gt. And a buddy of mine has a 98gt with pi swap and identical mods. TB/plenum, CAI, EXHAUST, LOWERED, HE HAS 3.73 GEARS AND I HAVE 3.55, BOTH EQUAL DRIVERS, I USUALLY BEAT HIM ABOUT 2 CARS ON STREET, AND OUR TIMES AT THE TRACK ARE 8.40(ME) 8.90(HIM)

No credible difference in HP that matters in a race.

Using Stock PI heads/cams you won't see a big gain...but if you use ported heads and something like my stg 2 cams, you will see a DEFINATE increase vs the same swap on a PI car.

stock 98 with a pi swap vs stock 99-04 would go to the new edge because of gearing....if the mods are equal the hp isnt enough to make a difference, but without gears your 3.08s will lose to the 3.27s in the new edge

do the pi swap, you'll be happy, it'll be a close race. technically you will have more hp, but the gearing is a prob. looks like u have it all figured out (looking at your sig)
