Anyone ever seen an engine do this?

Are all of your plugs and wires good? Maybe a cylinder missfire, or timing issue? I had a cylinder down once on my 1.8 turbo jetta, and it ran awful and sounded like an angry lawnmower.

Nope, all the plugs and wires, even ignition coil are brand new. I ordered a lap top based computer diagnosic and tuning tool last night. I guess once i can get in there i will either find it or not. I am hoping the timing chain didn't jump a tooth, which i am not sure how is would since i only ever had it idle and rev to 2500-3000 rpm with no load on it.

Could a bad distributor make an engine run like this?

do you have timming marks on the front of the block on the ballencer check the timing
if you can get the computer diagnostic program to run a live scan you can check the timing that way it should be about 8-14* btc i can't find the info to be for sure though
