One thing to remember about ours cars is the computer sucks. Even after you install your intake and heads, the car may not run good. It may even run a bit worse, like mine did, after I installed my GT-40Y heads. Your car will need tuning, be it a dyno-tune with custom chip or some other custom tuning device. My car stuttered and hesitated during acceleration on a regular basis. Unfortunetly I never had the car dyno-tuned in its naturally aspirated form so I can't say what my numbers were. However, if you check the readers rides on this site and look under 94-98 conv., a guy by the name of fweathers has an excellent write-up on his GT-40 set-up and his gains from his dyno-tune/custom chip. He went from like 255/290 to 270/305 at the wheels with his tune. I really recommend it, very good info and reading. Good luck.
