He said he is doing the swap. So if your using pi heads ofcourse you can put does cams as long as they are going on a 99-04 heads. If your friend had the cams on pi heads then ofcourse they fit yours. I am also in the process of doing the swap and i was going to do it this weekend but i wont do it because I decided to buy headers. Its the only bolt on I will be missing so might as well get a pair before i put everything back together. I will be using 2000 gt heads on my 96 GTS and they are from a built motor that my friend took apart at his shop. I havent checked to see if the cams are stock 2000 but I will when I get the chance, hopefully they are not the stock cams. If they r stock I will probably look for some stage 2 cams like the ones you got too because they sound nice. Just one thing it is recommended to get shorter springs for the valves for the stage 2 ok. Just get your self some shorter springs or see if they can put the srpings at a shop. I did the springs on my vettes motor for only $80 and cleaned. should be about the same price for the GT

+1 Your right livefast its still a npi bottom end. I have a few options but the more I have been reading it looks like im going to either have notch the pistons or change the pistons. Would really like to keep the compression though. I plan on spraying the motor and higher compression loves nitrous. Any idea on where to get a notching tool?
