Ahh 01' so its still the 4 thread heads.
Do you think you might swap over to a set of TFTW heads?
Hell for $200 you cant go wrong unless its mash inside. :P
If its all good you could just freshen it up with new bearings, better rods and new wrist pins and rings. The Forged pistons are suppose to be pretty decent, its the rods that are weak.

ugh I hate talking to people that dont know anything about fuel injected cars.
"so how much power does your car make?"
i dont know, it hasnt been tuned yet
"tuned?"
yes, thats were they adjust the fuel,timing, etc so they engine doesnt blow up prematurely
"oh, well isnt there some sort of valve or something that will allow you to add more fuel, and dont you just degree the cam to set the timing?"
No, idiot.. come over here. *walk over to car* Do you see a distributor anywhere on this engine? This isnt a carburated engine, you need a computer to adjust the fuel, timing, etc.
like ****. But one guy did think my car was pretty cool with the blower on and no hood. And carb guy^^^ couldnt believe that most of the paint on the car is factory (rear bumper, DS fender and door repainted after I got it), his jaw nearly dropped with I said it has 237K km's on it.

If I had a decent camera I could show you the lovely rear bumper..... anything less than 10ft and you see little white lines all along the bottom half of it. Front bumper has clearcoat peeling, bug damage, a hole behind that plate(truck hitch) and creases on the bottom by the foglights(can see in sig)
But with almost 150K miles... Im happy with how it looks.
