any quick little tips on pulling the motor? shortcuts to any problems I may run into? Rebuilding it so I can put the boost to it some more. Anyone ever gone with blow by racing?

Leave the ps and ac pumps in the car and attached to their systems. I was able to get the motor out without taking the hood off or pulling the radiator by using a leveler. There is a bond strap that is hooked to the drivers side head, you don't want to forget about it.

Don't sweat it, these cars are easy to work on, have lots of room in the engine bay and there arent really any big surprises.

Look at all the room!

One other thing is to make sure you support the transmission.

People on other forums use them. I know they have custom cam grinds and cnc head packagaes, IE they aren't just a reseller, they race, develop, and build their own stuff. Most major parts they sell require a core deposit and it's not usually in bold print so read everything when comparison shopping.
