thanks for the quick responses!!!

1. As for the car, I dont think I want to run a turbo. My goal is to build a strong running car as a daily driver. I would like to be able to at least get the car to run in the 14.0 14.5 range.

2. I read on here about people getting GSRs and then building them with forged pistons and sleeved cylinders and head jobs etc., I just dont see how they afford it. I see GSR engine swaps for 3500 plus all extras (heads, pistons, etc)!! So with my intentions and budget, I see myself with a GSR with maybe a few bolt ons hoping to pull out around 200hp.

3. With that said, any suggestions on what to do to the motor before I put it in? I'd hate to get it in and wish i had replaced something.

4. If I decide not to do it myself, anyone got any recommendations of shops to get the engine and maybe install it as well out here on the East Coast?

Sorry for all the questions, but i do appreciate all the help. I hope to help you guys out one day. Thanks!!
