Ok, well thanks to all of you guys, i have decided to stick with the D16Y8. The car will be completely done by lunch time today. I passed by the shop yesterday before they closed and got to drive the car, which was smoother than it ever was before. I left it with them so they could finish painting the valve cover RED (to go with the RED MSD wires i had them install). They also needed to put on a new filter head for my Cold-Air Intake, and install a bypass-valve. I figured since im having them put in a new motor, might as well get as much work out of em as i could, heheh.

Anyways, I will take pics and post em up as soon as i get the car back.
Thanks again for all of your help.
