I'm probably as speechless as I can get right now...
"Every healthy engine has to have some water coming out"? Seriously?! Who in the hell has been teaching you about cars? Condensation can happen but it's hardly an indication of engine health or performance. I'm sorry to hear the guy's BMW sprays down the competition when he goes full throttle.
The distributors are not adjustable.

you shoudln't have any "lag" on your acceleration. If you do, you need to check your car's health as a whole, not just the engine.
Obviously, starting with the engine, check for vacuum leaks, including intake piping, and the larger air lines (ldle air line, brake booster line, etc.). check motor mounts (just pulled the motor out of a 92, those things were both ripped in half), so on, and so forth.
Oh, make sure you didn't use Bosch plugs; Since you're hangin out with european cars, they'll try to tell you Bosh is best, but Japanese cars need NGKs (don't ask ME why, it;s just been experience for thousands of japanese/euro car owners, it's just how it works).
next, check your trans fluid color/level. again, check the mounts.
check drive shaft carrier bearing, and differential bushings.
