Default pi heads pros and cons?

Hey people! newbie to this site. I have a 98 gt. all stock w/auto trans. was wondering if anyone has done the swap to the pi heads. I've read that they increase compression to about 10-10.5:1. This seems alot if u want to run any kind of power adder which i want to do. any probs with the swap? seems pretty staight forward. thanks for the info

Keep it nice and cool. Make sure you have an intercooler and some E85 wouldn't hurt either. This could get costly though.

pi heads are no problem at all. if you plan to go with forced induction afterwards, you may want to consider methanol.

or drive it around NA for a while, then when you go FI get a better rotating assembly so you can have more than a ~100rwhp gain...

FWIW 300rwhp with 4.10's is a FUN car
