[QUOTE="Ferocious, post: 964716, member: 15502"] Now that i look back at it, for the added costs of what i listed, i could probably manage to find a used PI engine in the junkyards. Swapping an entire engine out quickly is my big concern though. I'm definitely gonna do an intake swap during summer to give her a little boost in power. The cams i should do at the same time, but i'm not set on tearing down the heads and doing them too... would getting them ported or just swapping them out for a set of PI's be a long task? Around how long does that usually take? I'm looking to spend around $1500-3000. I'm probably going to keep this car around for college, so that gives me about 2-3 years. The 4:10 gears & intake will be done in the summer. I enjoy driving my car right now, as stock as it is lol, but i wouldn't mind having the extra power as long as it doesnt cost me an arm and a leg. I don't believe 280 is pushing it. Hell 260 and i'd be happy. This just make me hate the NPI's even more since they suck at laying down the power i want. As nice as my car looks to me, the engine needs some serious work. [/QUOTE]
