Picked up some 2001 PI heads n' cams today from a guy who bought them to put in his 96 but ended up buying a mach 1. Was a local purchase so no shipping, and i pretty much stole em away for the price he charged. Rather low millage on em too. (these turned out to have too much problems, bought a re-machined new set from Allied Motor Parts - 1 year warranty).
Plans:
- Got a PI intake coming in the mail $90 shipped. (this fell through, intake damaged. Bought a new one)
- Soon to order FRPP head changing kit. Still need to order additional parts like valve cover gaskets (do i have to replace timing chain cover gaskets?) (Done)
- Take cams off head and and sell the PI cams.
- Wait on Hotmustang's hail2 VT stage I cams to be sent to me after he takes em out and i pay him.
- Order SCT II flasher tuned by MPH for one smog legal tune and a more aggressive tune. 10.3:1 compression (done, thanks MPH!)
- Find a place to hot tank heads + cams and make sure valves are in good order. (Total performance already did, and found problems with heads)
- Pay a friend/auto tech a lil dough and lots of beer to help me install all of these parts at my place.
- Dyno pull at DPR of San Diego, then adjust a/f ratio via my SCT accordingly
- New numbers
- Some 15" rims and some slicks later on
- Hopefully my stall converter and traction will get me to some 12.9's at Infineon when they open Wednesday night drags again.
