Finally got time to do a quick touch up on my car, first clean since the engine swap. Still have a few issues drivetrain wise to get fixed on it, but other than that it has been great! Anyways, here's some pics, and I can finally show my engine without being embarrassed lol.

Quite a bit. Pulls a little harder in lower RPMs but has soon as like 3k gets there it pulls hard all the way to 5.5k, I haven't gone past but it kept pulling hard all the way, which is defiantly a big improvement over stock. Real results will be on the track, got a 15.1@92mph last time with a 2.3 60, hoping for 13s with some ET streets this time :).

mine quits pulling at about 5700 or so, theres no power past that area, I verified it with a dyno test. Of course, I have a 1" spacer in the intake and the Street Heat intake as well. the Track heat will expand your RPM range a bit.

IDK about your car, but mine felt like a rocket compared to the stock engine.

Track heat makes a difference, but I have a 3/8" spacer to clear the VCs, but yes, compared to stock, it feels like a million bucks lol. As for cutting springs, I have more important things that having a lower car right now. Since I have an apprenticeship starting in 3 months, I have to get some more tools and a toolbox before I get more car parts. I will lower it eventually, but my streets are crappy as it is. I don't want to do a half-ass attempt at the suspension. I didn't cheap out on the engine/tranny, so I won't with the suspension parts.

I wouldnt cut the springs either. I got tired of driving my car daily, so I bought a second car. My car has coilovers tho, is pretty rough at times.

Im glad you like the new mota man! the spacer does help in the intake, my 1" spacer made the car pull harder lower in the rpm range.
