How to beat a PI Stang.

[98E9GT]

Hey guys, my friend has a 99 GT 5spd, 373's CAI, plenum throttle body, underdrive pulleys. I have basically stock, just a PI intake and K&N filter. I just got some heads i will be porting out, with hopefully some comp cams 262s. Oh I will try to do Long Tubes while i have the motor apart also. Is this enough that wipe that grin off his uptight a$$? He is always putting down NPI cars. If this isnt enough, what other mods should i get? Thanks

Can you drive well? I've beaten plenty of PI stangs with my bone stock NPI just from keeping it maintained and driving well.

I think you know the answer to your question

If you do heads (bumps comp to 10:1), LTs and cams.

DUMB QUESTION

YES!

well since he has gears it will be a little harder, i can beat bone stock 99-04's, just do the best job on the heads as you can, if you need any help ask me, im still working on my heads because im just not satisfied with them yet, and i have 25++ hours in them, def get longtubes, and maybe 4:10's, and the driver mod is prolly the biggest thing!!!!

dang, i cant wait to finish my motor!!!!

PI stangs are slow

PI stangs are slow

And yes , you gonna put few trains length on him with heads work + cams

well you already got a PI manifold. With some gears and a tune I would say you would do just fine. I got a buddy with an auto and 4.10s with a PI manifold and he can run down some of the PI cars with boltons.

Im gonna post a vid later of me going through a few gears, and i would love it if you experienced driver's would critique me. I usually shift at 5500RPMS from 1-2. Then 2-3 and so on I shift like 5200RPMS.

slash tires, empty gas tank, or load your friends trunk with a bunch of rocks

PI swap your car. Then you can beat him

Could rarely see the tach but 1st/2nd seemed to be really short shifted - although based on where your powerband is that might not mean much.

Can you drive well? I've beaten the drivers of plenty of PI stangs with my bone stock NPI just from keeping it maintained and driving well. Otherwise, we all know there's no way in hell I could take them with an equally compitent driver behind the wheel.

Here, let me fix that for ya....

nice.

You need to work on your 2-3 shift. Have you ever learned to powershift?

Better learn how to swap out a clutch along with that lesson too

or just get some laughing gas then it doesnt matter how bad you are at driving just hit the button in 3rd and fly past him lol.

I dont like to powershift, i dont have much money to spend on this thing,not for another 2 months when it is paid off. I noticed in the video my 2-3 seemed a bit weak, maybe i will go at it again, and have the camera girl sit in the back, to shoot my shifting and the tach.

Both 1-2 and 2-3 will get better over time.

why not throw in motor mounts, tranny, and possibly the valve train if you miss a shift, too?
