hey, i have some experience with cars, and some friends whom also do. We've installed i/h/e and springs & shocks. Also cam gears / shafts. How much harder is a jrsc install, do you recommend someone who isnt familiar with it install it? I have never installed fi components. Also, do you need power tools, what special tools do you need.

You can do it.
The only "special" tool needed is an impact wrench. I bought an electric one for $80 and it did the job and has been a pleasure to own since.
Check out my site. It is aimed directly at YOU!

97lsintegra,
Today i started installing the SC. Its fun! I am in no hurry since i have a beater car to get to work in. I have no real car experience other than oil changes, and a valve clearance check (didnt need adjusting, they were dead on at 110k miles on my civic).
It took me about 6 hours to do the first 'major' part of the install: removing the intake manifold. I am going very slow, taking pics and labeling little baggies with hardware in them (thanks Holden). I only have some craftsman sockets, wrenches and pliars...relatively undertooled. I'll deal with the impact wrench issue when i get to that step (later this week). My car is a 2000, so the hoses and gaskets are in great shape still, but I have penetrating oil just in case.
Also, like Holden said on his site, I havent had to remove and exhaust or power steering components (yet!).
Thats my 2 beans. I am learning I love working on cars.
