I know of a kid around here that has a '94 Z28 with a Jasper Motor I believe it to be that one and with Full Exhaust, CAI, and a Tune he's running in the 14's which is pretty bad.

Junk! I wouldn't install a Jasper engine or transmission in anything I planned to keep for more than a couple weeks.

If it is to be used only for daily transportation in stock form, it may be ok. If you're looking for a hi-po engine find a good performance shop to build it for you.
