I'm assuming you have basic bolt onts already.  My 96Gt currently has basic bolt ons and the PI intake.  It is so much better than before.   Come spring I'm tearing it down and doing some Cobra flat tops to bump compression, and basically what I posted above.   Should see good results.  I may switch it to the edelbrock intake though.  Haven't decided.  Anyway, check this link out.  The NPI heads were not the 96-98 2v's problem.  Crappy cam/intake were.  <a href="http://modularheadshop.com/Articles/11secondnpi.htm" target="_blank">http://modularheadshop.com/Articles/11secondnpi.htm</a>You don't have to tear the motor down to get close if you choose your parts wisely.   If you get MHS cams you can have them degree them before they ship them to you and you can just line the dots up and go.</blockquote>
