Default Bought a motor..FINALLY!!!!AAAAHHH

Just bought a motor today. After 4 months of not having car, thanx to a busted b16 tranny, i sealed the deal for a 99 GSR cahnge-over from another EF 4 door today. FINALLY! I didnt know what was gonna happen, first i thought id just buy a stock d series and sell the car, them some guy almost sold me his crvtec, and then i almost bought an LS swap. Luckily this was just what i was looking for. Its a USDM motor, 30k miles on it. So i can make the dahm thing smog legal if i feel like it. (nice to know). Its been rewired for OBD I, the ECU is Mugen chipped, and the whole think looks clean. 93 GSR cable tranny, AEM CAI, some no brand mounts and a bling blingin valve cover. the guy let me drive it, i couldnt really tell how quick it was, the tires were stock and the clutch was slippin REAL bad, even in 5th goin 40 mph when i floored it the thing would just rev up. Oh yeah, lightened flywheel too. I finally managed to ease the clutch in and hit the gas, i could feel the tourque, top end felt kinda like my old b16 but definitely more tourque. Once this thing gets a new clutch and hooks up to some Azenis im sure ill really feel the differnce. Best time in my b16 EF sedan with an ITR intake cam, CAI, DC 4-2-1, and exhaust was 14.8, (full interior) so ill be hoping for a 14.0-14.4 with the GSR on boltons, on 205/50 azenis. But the swap probably wont take place till the end of May, by when ill have plenty of wiring questions for all yall. In conclusion...go GSR!!!! cant wait.

P.S. What can you guys tell me about the 93 GSR tranny? is it as aggresive as the b16a1 or no?
