Revolution Rotary Re-man Upgraded engine?

I have a 86 GXL and I love the car, Only problem is I drive a lot and it has 135,000 miles on it now and will put anywhere from 10,000 to 15,000 on it next year. I'm also looking for a way to upgrade performance as much as poslible w/o the use of forced induction or Nitrous. I've been looking into Revolution Rotary's remanafactured Upgraded 86 13B to drop into it. At $2,250 and if I decide to return my core it's another 450 dollars less, I think this sounds good. Right now I'm using the Racing Beat cat replacement is my only aftermarket mod.
Has anyone had expereince with Revolution Rotary good/bad and how much performance gain over the stock non-ported engine would I see?

Keeping in mind as you view this that I spent 1 hour searching the forum for any questions such as this so try not to yell at me if this question gets asked too many times.

I have heard good things about rotary resurection, pineapple racing, and atkins rotary. I do not know of anyone who's used rotary revolution, but I feel they look like a good company, IMHO.

I hav noticed a few posts about pineapple motors dying, but they look like they hold to their waranty as well.

This really prolly doesn't help a whole lot, but I figured I'd throw what I know at you.

well it depends on what kinda port you want. on a street port you could get about maybe 20hp if not less, and rotary ressurection does rebuilds for "as low as 1000$" then there is also mazdatrix and as nization said there is pineapple racing. there are alot of places who do rebuilds just look around for whatever suits u

I'll most likely end up having pineapple port it for me. I'm basically looking for the biggest port increase I can get without totally sacraficing my streetability

For the best balance of reliability & power, I'd go with Rotary Resurrection's street port.
And definitely put a header on it.
Silencer & muffler to taste.
Intake upgrade if budget allows.
