can i put 2004 mustang cams in a non pi headed enging with no extra parts?
or am i better off getting an aftermarket cam like xe268h cams?

Who said anything about non-pi heads not being very good? Actually if you go check out the threads on MD you'll see that I am correct. People who already have intake and off-road mid pipes are reporting 10-15hp gains with PI cams alone, but you won't see that if the car in question still has stock exhaust.Outlaw97GT said:Go to TCCoA and moduler Depot, and check out JL's threads. You will learn alot about the NPI heads.
powermaxx said:i have a 4.6 truck, how woulld i go about making the mustang intake work on it? yes it has stock exhaust on it right now but i was thinking of using headers x pipe and some hooker maxflow's. is that cam a good choice or should i stick to 2004 mustang gt cam or somthing? do i have to change throttlebody for this cam? im new to the whole modular family and would like to learn more.
powermaxx said:so will i still get similar performance from the 2004 gt cams?

I give you and Johnny Langton tons of credit for doing this mod and provingTGJ said:The truck is a whole different ball-game regarding the intake. I honestly can't help you with that one.
Regarding PI cams, I was one of the first to do the mod, my friend Johnny Langton was the first. JL saw a 12 RWHP gain when he swapped to PI cams. His car was a minor bolt on modified car with nothing really special about his exhaust( stock TBird manifolds, stock 2" cats, 2.25" compression bent tubing into an X-Pipe, flowing to 2 2.25" Dynomax Ultraflo mufflers ). I never dynoed my car when I put the PI cams in it, but you could tell that there was an improvement. I ran the stock TBird exhaust and stock NPI intake at the time.
For the bang for the buck, PI cams can be had brand new for $200.00 from Ford, it is really tough to beat it. If you like the Comp 268H is not a bad cam to go with, but it is more to buy.

that it works and can be done.I remember years ago people on the boards
called him a fool for doing installing PI cams and PI intake.Johnny said he gained 12-15 rwhp with the PI cams and 15-20 rwhp with the PI intake.
How's the fool now lol.
