[/QUOTE] Thats why if you own and 96 to 98 GT.  You gotta do the PI Head Swap,  Before you do anything.  The stock heads are a total piece of s**t.  Even if you port them they still suck.  If you do the head swap, then the supercahrger.  You'll be hanging with the 03 Cobras.  But you'r motor lasting long is another story.

They were talking about an aftercooler....what for? They can't run any more boost on those stock heads and the aftercooler won't do anything for 8 psi unless they are running it WOT forever.

[/QUOTE] no it would do something. regardless how much boost hes running, a cooler air charge will result in more hp (in reply to mkspeed26) Post #: 8

horsepower tv - 1/6/2004 1:50:33 AM    USAMuscle Posts: 1405 Joined: 9/12/2003 From: United States Status: offline Yeah the show is pretty good most of the time. About the jokes, I'm pretty sure they are intentionally lame. Still funny though. I really wish they would do a PI head swap on the black '96 GT though. IMO they should have done that before even messing with the blower. It costs a lot less, and they would have gotten so much better results from the blower, not to mention all the other mods. I can't wait to see that Nova run!! (in reply to mkspeed26) Post #: 13
