Are you talking about the 99+PI 2v heads?...I see in your profile you have a 96 Mustang...
Read my post at the top of the tech talk page...The more info you give us the better answer you'll get...

ok, so i have a 96 gt with about 97k miles, i so far have had no mechanical failures of any sort, but still would like to have a fresh motor. considering my budget, would i be in good shape if i were to just get brand new heads and use stock intake and such??? thanks

Ok, if you're on a budget and you want to go faster without nitrous or a blower the PI heads, cams and intake are the way to go...
The PI heads, cams and intake normally sell for $1000+ and it requires more than a few hours of labor...
Do a compression check on your motor first and make sure it's a motor worth modifying...100K on a 96 2v doesn't inspire confidence...

ahh...ok sounds good i figured money wasnt worth spending if the motor wasnt tip-top, so i can get a compression check just about anywhere or is it something i might be able to do on my own? thanks again

If you have a the money, there is someone selling pi heads/intake/tb, missing the cam and lower intake and all he wants is 265, thats a deal.
There is also someone selling 4.6 saleen supercharger for around 1700 complete(retails around double that).
