All though the heads showed improvements over the stock heads for the 96-98 GT's, they didnt not improve power as much as the 99+ heads. So technically, there are 3 head options for the 4.6L SOHC V8. The 96-98 stock heads, these SVO(i believe you were right saying SVO and not SVT) heads that were still round in port. And then the 99+ PI (power improved) heads. So right now, the best heads for a 4.6L SOHC V8 are the 99+ PI heads. So if you want to upgrade...might as well go with the 99+ PI heads rather then paying money for heads that arent even as good.<br /><br />I am right...i'll even find the article in either MM&FF or 5.0 Mustang for anyone who desires. LOL, im jk, but that is 1 location that will back me up.<br /><br />Josh <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>RioredGT</b> <br /><small>Member # 2300</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,1,4,0,30,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Could be, for som reason im thinkin SVO had some shit out there for my car?

If your car is a GT, Ford Motorsport SVO does make heads for your car. I have a set sitting under my bed. Whether they're a better route than PI heads, depends on who you ask. I don't have the mechanical knowledge to give advice on either, but I can tell you that the SVO heads are expensive. A new set will cost you about $1800... good luck <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Chico Stang</b> <br /><small>Member # 801</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,1,4,0,35,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> According to 1 of the 2 magazines I stated above, they are not as good as the new 99+ PI heads.

Plus afaik SVO heads are a bitch to tune because they lack swirl dam and require either FRPP computer or really good tune, may be even 4 bank chip like Diablo to alter program code.<br />You probably will be able to get Bullitt intake cheaper than SVO. Bullitt will not work on your 96-98 heads w/o modifications, but bolts on PI no problem, get 2001+ (Windsor) heads so you won't be needed to deal with oil neck on the passenger side interfering with air inlet tube.<br />Check <a href="http://www.fordracing.com" target="_blank">http://www.fordracing.com</a> for SVO stuff.<br /> <br /> <small>[ February 04, 2003, 11:41 AM: Message edited by: Andrew WOT ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
