[QUOTE="boss281, post: 485159, member: 8868"] After reading a zillion posts here, it's my understanding is that PI heads, PI intake and new cam will yield about 40-50HP to the wheels. I'm seeing Ford PI heads going each for about $395 to $559 (Ford hipo non-PI head) , the Livernois PI intake kit for about $500, cams going for about $500--that's pretty much the budget. Anything else I'm missing that I should be saving more for? What about a stall to get out of the hole quicker? Longtubes for better breathing (and sound at WOT)? Can you just do the PI intake and cams, and not worry about heads until later? This is my daily driver--about 80miles a day on 1/2 back roads and half high speed driving. I've got a cold air kit and plenum, off road prochamber and custom tune, and 3.73 gears but that's it other than suspension components. It puts 200hp to the wheels and really needs more grunt to get in and out of traffic and blow some of these ricers away that get on my ass. Thanks. John [/QUOTE]
