The exact same thing just different wording. What is wrong with your engine that you need a new one?

your engine has another 75k in it easy. If I were you I would just save and do a 3sgte swap. At least then you have a tried and true upgrade path, not to mention it would be a bit more reliable (unless you are going to pay for a great tune on a 5sfte)

ATS racing in Dallas will do it. Be careful though. They fcuked up one of our club members Manual tranny swaps pretty badly. I here they do really good work other than that one incident tho.
