PROBABLY NOT WORTH THE TIME AND EFFORT UNLESS THEY MATCH THE SPEC OF PI HEADS OF THE 99-04 GT.

wow........ okay
so your car runs good now....so that means that all 96gt's that don't get a head swap run bad?
and no, 2000 cv heads were not PI. they were NPI until 2001. which means you got no "performance increase".
your previous owner was either dumb and did a lot of work for nothing, or cracked his heads and needed replacements.
and you dont need to make posts every 3 minutes.

ya, i would of never done that because i didnt think it had any effect on performance, but im pretty sure its pushin more than 190 to the wheels, the car only has 90k and performance mods include,long tube headers, jegs xpipe, k&n cold air intake, performance hand held tuner, 3.73 gears, steeda underdrive pullys, and the timing is advanced. so im guessing 280 to the wheels, something around that. what u guys think?

LOL I don't mean to laugh but you are no where even remotley close to 280 rwhp. 190-210 TOPS. Its a sad fact that the 96-98 2v motor just isnt gonna make power like that with bolt ons. 280rwhp would be those mods on a cobra with a tune of that same year.
