PI cams without a tune ?

the.greg · Jul 21, 2009

Hey yall, i tried the search feature and couldn't find the answer. Do all yrs, 99-04, PI cams work for my 98 gt, I thought i read somewhere on here that in a PI swap, you needed to get either winsor or romeo heads, and I didn't know if the cams were the same way? I'm looking at a set of cams from a 2000 gt, the seller says they're winsor with cam gears attached. Also would these work fine without a tune and with my stock NPI intake, for a while, until I can afford to get those done also? I know to get the most out of the cams a tune and the PI intake will be needed, but I can't afford it all at once and I think the cams would be a good start. Thanks

Re: Which years for PI cams?

well, if you do the swap, it needs to be tuned correct?

someone else chime in?

Re: Which years for PI cams?

cams are only pi or npi specific they are not w or r specific ...

Any of the PI cams will work and with those and a PI intake you can add 30rwhp and not require a tune. It would benefit to have one but not needed.

yeah you don't need a tune, but to gain the most from that setup you should have it setup correctly with a tune. Come the fall I'll be selling my PI cams!

yes will work with your npi intake

that will make the gains almost minimal because the intake is the major cork in the system. I'd wait to do both at the same time.

x100000, I picked up more than 30rwhp/35+tq with the manifold. I absolutely hate the PI cams on the other hand. Thats why I'm going to a blower cam setup. However, I hear of n/a guys getting good results with the PI cams

Thanks for the replys yall. Blown97 and Droptop both confirmed what i thought, that the gains would be minimal, but it will run fine with just the pi cams and no tune, thanks a lot.
