You need a set of 99-up PI heads. Most Mustang magazines have adds for companies that sell the changeover kit. You have to change the intake manifold too. You might want to install a set of CompCams camshafts in the heads before installing them. This will give you about 45 to 50 more HP. BBK makes good headers. I would also install a good cold air induction kit and a larger throttlebody so that it can breathe better.
