The 98s were rated at 225, but I have heard both: that the problem was the heads, and I have heard the problem was the intake. Livernois offers a PI intake and adapter plate that claims to make your car equal performance-wise with PI cars. However, I know the intake ports on the NPI cars suck. Look at pictures of them, it is ridiculous. The NPI intake ports are circular with a tear drop shape for injectors, but the PI heads have a huge intake port that is completely open with the injector, which equals much better flow.

dont have money for heads yet the gears add alot of lower end im thinking i can get him off the line light to light i should get him we will know in a couple of weeks

Did I say they weren't? I stated a proven fact... kind of like if I said there was a factory recall on the 99' vic motor for an intake problem that was restricting so much power you would have lost to a metro... so before you go on taking it to the next level and acting like that read the posts... and if you want to have a flame war with me I have AIM swells 123456 other then that act like a mustang guy and not a honda guy who has to defend his car...
RELAX RELAX, im just giving you a hard time, I read you're posts. I'm not trying to start a war with you, just a little fun.

Yeah, the NPI ports are circular which suck compared to the PI ports. The head AND intake were the problem with the 96-98's. The PI intake sits so much deeper than the NPI intake....it's retarted.[&:] The intake alone is worth 15 peak hp to the wheels. But the heads are the biggest problem. I noticed a big difference with my PI intake.

Ford never had a recall on them or it wasn't bad enough that they had to recall it?

I am sure in 2 years they will say my 03 is being restricted because of something they always do don't they? I just don't know why they can't find and fix the damn problem...

I heard you can find 96-98 GT heads for cheep (I don't know what to consider cheep either) to correct the problem? (I think I am wrong about this but a buddy was telling me something)

I can pick up used 99+ heads/cams and intake for 350 bucks, but head gaskets will run you 300, and then install.....looking at over a grand for the whole process, totally worth it tho, worth about 40-50 hp to the wheels!

For one I have a 5.0 and it is 10 years older then your damn car so I would really like it if I wasn't paying the same as you thats just a dumb comment... I sould be paying less due to the fact that it is 20 year old technology now...

Two stop being a damn ricer and accpet the fact that your car is slower due to ford making a mistake everyone else has... if you have a problem with my post don't start a flame just IM me it will be a lot better then doing this on here...

And last I didn't say YOUR car was gay I said that your cars power was gay becuase of a factory "screw up" so calm down and get off of it, its not that big of a deal if I don't like something about you car... only ricers have to defend the look/power of there car becuase they are the only one who gives a damn.

I would rather go to the track and see a stang run 20's all day and the guy get out and be happy because it is a mustang and HE has done the work. Then to talk to a ricer and him fill you full of a bunch of BS and get mad when you tell them how it is.

Yea stangboy, he was just giving his opionion, hes a fellow stang owner, hes not ragging on you. It is true, our stangs are underpowered, but it just gives us a better reason to mod the heck out of them. So make ur car real fast so u wont care what people say. It bugs me sometimes but its true, you just gotta deal with it, or do something about it (mods). Its all good Swells, keep it real man.
