The best bang for the buck is easily the PI head/cam swap. The stock 99-04 GT's have much superior heads and cams to the 96GT's. With your '96s flat top pistons, you'll pick up quite a bit of compression with the swap, and you'll see some nice hp gains.

Well, that's the best if you're going to stay NA. The 4.6s respond quite well to a little boost, too.

Re: Needs 4.6 advice please!
 

Would you know of any other performace parts i could add and about how much do you think i will be paying for the heads/cams swap, becasue the instgallation isnt a problem for me. I used to work at ford dealership aroound the building so i got to know the mechanics pretty well.

Re: Needs 4.6 advice please!
 

I can get the parts fairly cheap, but shipping may be a bit expensive. Where are you located?

Re: Needs 4.6 advice please!
 

nevermind.....duh. PA huh? That shouldn't be so bad. I'll double check my pricing on those for you but I believe I can get everything for about $700. Don't be surprised if it's more, but I think that's the price on the PI swap.....

Later.

If i can get the pi heads and cams for 700 dollars i will kiss you feet, well not only do i want the pi heads and cams but im going to need a different intake manifold that could within stand the extra power and if you have any other suggestions as to what else i can do to my stang i am all ears. Thank you

Actually, I have a set of CNC'd PI heads sitting here, and the cams to go with it. The only thing I don't have it the Intake. If you're looking to buy a "good" intake anyway, look into the Foxlake P-51. Great numbers out of that thing.

I'll sell those heads and cams for $500.00 + shipping. Or if you want you can just pick them up. I'll try to take a few pictures of them and you can see if you want them. I was thinking about using them on my car, but money talks.....you know?

If you can think of anything else you might want let me know.

Later.

Re: Needs 4.6 advice please!
 

Oh the cams are stock. Just to let you know.

Re: Needs 4.6 advice please!
 

Sorry, not CNC'd. Hand ported. Anyway, let me know if you want them, I'll sell them cheaper than $500.

Re: Needs 4.6 advice please!
 

I am actually really interested in what you have but im trying to find out about them before i buy the wrong kind. What does hand ported exactly mean and who did them? Are they used? What kind of performance increase should i expect out of them? And i might even be able to pick them up if its right for my car. Talk to you soon.
