welcome to real power. you will make just a little more per mod than pure pi guys if you tune it and use the best gas. timing 10's ok, but with premium you can use more than stock.

have fun.

I just went with stock settings. I had it adjusted through the computer when I got the car dyno tuned after I got my VT Stage 2 cams. You don't need to get the car tuned after the headswap.

Congrats you will love your new found power!
You will see it is a night and day difference. You
really don't need a tune after the PI Headswap but,
it will help.To all non-pi guys I highly recommend the
PI Headswap or even a supercharger.

Thanks for the info guys, I'm going to run 93 oct. but i guess for now i will stay with the timing set at 10. I have not even gotten on the car so i don't know how much faster it is. I replaced the piston rings, crank and all bearings at the same time, so i have to brake it in for a few miles. I also put on some 3.55 compared to my 2.73 so im excited to punch the car but can yet......

Brandy-new headers too huh!!!

Looks good, man taking the engine out of the car would have been SOOOOO much easier in retrospect. Anyway, I used the stock settings for timing and I am using 93 around town without any problems.

Yeah, i work at a dealership so i just did it all at work. It wasn't bad since i took the motor out. When i put it in i wasn't sure if i could get everything in together, so i put the engine and tranny in together and it took like 10 mins. So i pulled it out and threw on the headers and dropped everything in together, went in great.
