rstdennis · Apr 3, 2010

Ok I have a 96 gt with the automatic trans and want to put some new heads and cams in it but not sure which are the best. I have read about the pi heads and like them but still wonder if their is any others that are better and which cam will work the best. I am goin to be drivin this just about everyday so i want to keep it streetable, and also goin to put some 3.73 in the rear. so plz help

man, i've been researching this too... looks like SVO is where it's at if you can find them
then streetflows new heads, but they're $2k
i'm going with pis (i might p/p cause i'm getting them SO cheap) and some comp cams 262s, which is kinda mild
i'm going for the same thing but i've got a 5sp and i'm going with 4.10s

why not just boost it?? or will you be happy with 300whp max?

I had on my auto 96gt PI heads/intake with VT Stg 2 NA cams and all the other bolt ons. I made 278rwhp/306rwtq and ran high 12s @ 105-6 on street tires. I also daily drove it rain, snow, or shine.

yeah im good with about 300 whp for a daily driver and im thankin about the pi heads and intake with a set of comp 270 cams and new springs and im wonderin will i have any ptv issues and also is their a better flowin intake than a stock pi intake or would i be better to just use the stock intake. im also thakin about sprayin it witha 75 shot when i want a little extra power so plz any input would be greatly appreciated

There is also the Trickflow heads/intake/cams for the 4.6.

the PI swap with GOOD valvetrain, cams, and bolt ons with a great tune should make you happy in the performance part, still get close to stock MPG, and be reliable as a stock mustang.

I ran the comps with a 5 speed and pi heads. No ptv issues when degreed properly and you will not beat the PI intake manifold for money/weight/power HANDS DOWN EVER. with a stalled auto and 100 shot of with comp 270s and ported heads a good friend of mine ran an 11.6 i think
