PI head swap or 4.10s

[phil_the_thrill]

alright. I've been assessing my finances and I am either going with the PI head and intake swap or 4.10s. Which one of these do you guys think i should do?

PI swap all the way, you can get 40hp or more out of the entire PI set-up. Might as well pop 500 for a set of aftermarket cams too for some extra power 8)

yeah i was thinking PI swap definantly but i wanted to see what others said. i would love to put some different cams in at the same time but i dont think my budget will allow it. planning on doing this over christmas break. should be able to bang this out in 3 or 4 days right?

4.10s will definantly be next in line though. poor college kid right now

the 60 HP and better power curve, as well as better response to future mods is better than gears.

Gears are great too, torque multiplication, but you'll still choke out a 4800 rpm's with the NPI's

The swap no question....putting pi parts on is a great mod.

PI all the way :thumb: trust me from experience, i did the 3:90's before my PI goodies and don't get me wrong the gears were an awsome upgrade but then i put the PI equipment in and man you won't even reconize your car after that, you really notice the extra ponies :boink:

I say your next mod should be Synthtic blinker fluid

How about 4.10's and FRPP heads ported? With a big bore block.

P.I. Heads would be a great start. They are a HUGE difference in my car. Of course 4:10's are a great seat of your pants part. What are your plans for the car? If money is an issue and you don't really plan on modding the motor big then maybe 4:10's. My vote is for the P.I. Heads.

think twice about the headswap if you plan on supercharging it anytime soon though :thumb:

I have had to choose on previous cars, and I would do the gears FIRST. Others talk about it feeling like a different car after the PI swap, and hell you are adding 45-50hp...it better!!! 4.10s in the rear would do about the same for you in the 1/4 mile though. You will def feel the 4.10s

Your not saying that adding 4.10's to a NPI 2V will drop as much et in the 1/4 as doing a PI swap? Those 4.10's will be nice and help you get to that magic 4500rpm choke off point the wonderful NPI intake and cams die at. Doing a PI swap doesn't just add 40-50rwhp it also extends the usable powerband up to 6000rpm adding much needed top end power. Gears may help you drop 2 or 3 tenths but a PI swap usually results in a full second drop off your 1/4.
