k...if ur gonna get heads..then get something better than the PI heads, cams, and intake
go with something from modularpowerhouse for cams cause they custom grind their cams...get aftermarket heads too...i hear that patriot heads have improved their crappy design, and then get teh bullitt intake (same intake on the bullitt mustang) this isnt gonna get u much but it sould put u a hair above 300rwhp as for gears, go with 4.10's i rode in a stang w/ them and they are not bad...cruising at 70mph will put ur rpms at about 2500...and the modular engine likes the high rpms (i cruise at 60 in 4th gear and i still get about 20 mpg..i do alot of street driving) |
race me and you'll feel fast

soo much bashing on neons :(
i think imma have to make a poll or something on what to get... hey and ex-ricer....make sure u run them on HOM (High Octane Mode) otherwise ur running a car at half its potential... ;) Stage 3 without HOM on - 300hp Stage 3 w/HOM on - 375 u better be a flat 12 second car if u want to atleast hang :rofl: anywho....i dont want to stir up anything....i like the mustang soo hmmm....imma see if ill go to the junkyard and some heads and an intake and get the heads resurficed and polish up the intake and i should be good.....right??? :S |
I think someone needs to find that video of the Chicagoland Mustang Club owning the shit out of the Chicagoland SRT-4 Club at the dragstrip:hahaha:
Even if you are slower than your SRT-4 friends, you can always use the "Well atleast I don't drive a Neon..." saying. |
just for the hell of it I am gunna watch where these heads go...
Ebay 3v Heads |
Pcola I'm sure if you had a choice between your v6 mustang and a SRT-4 you would chose the srt-4..I know I would..but not my GT =)

I seriouslly doubt that for some reason..but if your that much of a hater on the srt-4's then alright..but I think they made them look really neat. They are pretty light too.

I would take a Mustang over any other car, my dreams aren't spectacular. |
don't go to the junkyard and don't have them resurfaced.. that's almost never required and it'll raise your compression even more, cause slack in the timing chains and all kinds of little naggy problems.
If you've got 2 grand to spend, then get a set of heads from VT, Patriot or Livernois, stage 2 is fine. Get a set of hotter cams with it (if smog isn't an issue) and you'll smoke SRT's. Just a PI head swap can put you into the high 12's if you can drive it, and if you add some RLCA's from Maximum Motorsports and some subframe connectors you'll be in a better position for a good launch and some turbo Chrysler 4-banger for breakfast. SRT's are front wheel drive, so they're quick but not fast from a dig (we gotta be real). AWD little rice cars can be actually fast thanks to mad traction (WRX, Evo, etc...) but FWD... nope. Can't plant the power in streetable form. In race form all things change. From a roll... all things are up for grabs... depends on the mods to the SRT. Lastly, Neon's are ugly as sin and should never have been let out with that giant Barbie wing on them. |
how much do you guys think labor would cost to do a PI swap?
|
you bought the wrong car my friend
|
i talked to a couple spots around here it was 700 - 1000 for the swap if u have everything, intake, gaskets, heads etc

Well anywayz...i hang out with a lot of srt-4 owners and well, lets just say i ran the slowest one...and he pulled 4+ cars on me from a 30mph roll :godamnit: I got no idea what the car has, the Speedometer reads 10mph above what it should (compared with a friend) and i dont think 6,000 rpms is redline anymore since it doesnt pull hardly anything past 5,500 <--- dont know if thats normal for V8s :kekekegay: Anywho...any advice on what to get and what to start off with...I have already installed Long Tube Headers, Mac Catless H-Pipe and a flowmaster 40 series cat back exhaust....I have a CAI, Intake Spacer and Short Throw coming in the mail. What else can be good to add. I am wanting to get rid of that ugly 4X4 stance it has. Any suggestions??? :breakdancesmilie: Going from an SRT4 to a NPI 2V is quite a downgrade, as far as performance goes. SRT4s are even faster than the 99-04 2V GTs and are a better bang for the buck, though most GT owners would hate to admit that. |
