lol yeah i forgot to mention i have built/fixed too many cars and owned too many dsm’s… 6-7 in total, they are addicting. have in down to 2 running and a parts car right now, and the junk is slowly clearing out of my yard/shed, but im sure ill find another project to fix up.
jordan, maybe if i actually get around to having someone tune my car for more than my shitty 23 psi tune, ill be trapping and running like you are 
and lessoned learned (do not let bolts fall out of the back of your block)… i forgot to retorque the bolt on the block under the intake manifold that lets you check your balance shaft’s position, so it worked its way out and i managed to put the wrong bolt back in (1/8" too long) and it locked up the timing and you know the rest :(.
