cams and pi swaps

[aarons_4six]

what are good cams with noticeable idle(nice thump) that will work wuth the pi swap. i see the trick flow stg 1& stg 2 are real affordable, or cheaper than others. or would it be best to just use the pi cams incase i decide to s/c or spray? this is for a npi bottom

I like comp's 270, always sounded good in my car and produced good quality and great power to 6k

what were the numbers as far as dyno n track times? pm me your corresponding mods if you dont wanna post

 

[duff daddy]

dyno was 304 and 310
et was 12.66 @ 109 w/ 1.62 60'

Mods pi manifold, full bolt ons, adjustable shock/struts all around, ahhh that s about it really not a WHOLE lot.

sweet, so probably under 1000, aftermarket intake manifold may gain a lil more!

wouldnt' say under 1k honestly... cheapest adjustable shocks i could find were the strange engineering shocks/struts, at 400 shipped from summit, then the wheels and tires for the rear alone are 600, then the tune will be what 250+ for your area ( local cheapest is 300, you pay for what you get however ).

so if you were talking fairly stock mustang GT with none of the listed mods i just said your already at 1250 at min without heads or cams, heads and intake manifold can cost any where between 40-200 ( used-new ) and heads can be any where between 150-350 ( used ) cams are 450-650 depending on the ones you wanted + another 200 i think for valve springs. ( dont run cams without aftermarket valve springs PLEASE ).

so now your lookin at 1900 at minimum not including fluids, head bolt kit ( 120 from steeda i think ) , 200 or so if you buy the tools to degree the cams, 30 bucks to rent a valve spring compressor..

Mind you... this is if YOU do all the work

being na you will gain NOTHING from an aftermarket manifold, put the PI on it and call it a day!!

yeah, my math was off, idk what i was thinkin. first off i cant do it myself so thats an additional cost. ive been looking around to maybe just build a forged bottom with a pi top and maybe a vortech. theres still one for sale local, just trying to spend a littlevat a time since we just purchased the lot behind us. gonna be building a big work shop for my numerous toys.
