Looks like lots of fun, Tony! Your MPH is pretty strong, so your definitely making power, but your launch and 60 foot time need some work. If you can get your 60' times down in the 2.0 second range (or under) then you should be pushing a 12 second flat 1/4 mile time.... I have a lot of drag racing experience (albeit years ago) and from that experience for every tenth you can cut off your 60 foot time you will gain nearly 2 tenths at the end of the 1/4 mile. This isn't an exact science of course, but it does give you a idea to the importance of a good launch.
Also, when racing yourself, don't worry about your reaction time, unless you are specifically working on perfecting your R/T. ;-)

Ok back to my adventures which lead up to the dyno..
One thing I forgot to mention in the most recent posts is that the used transmission I got from the salvage yard, which was put in with my new clutch, actually grind 5th gear as well!
I was told it had 'only 40k miles' - another testament to the 'do it right the first time' lesson that all us modders constantly struggle with.. Luckily the salvage yard would take the transmission back, however the time and money spent on installation and removal is lost..
I used a bit of my time delivering transmissions here and there to ensure things kept moving along smoothly.
My original 99k mile transmission was delivered as a core:
Then the used transmission was returned to the salvage yard:
And finally the expensive 'do it right the first time' lesson that I consistently struggle with (major props to David for hooking it up!) :
Pretty much a brand new car now:
Since I didnt 'need' my car back right away I decided to finally go ahead with the install of my CJ Motorsports Stage 3 RFS.
Turned out this was one of the best decisions I have made, because when we pulled the plugs one of them looked like this:
I was waiting to install the upgraded fuel system before I switched to E85 and this sign was also added to the list of reasons.
I always wanted a peep hole in my cover:
The beautiful CJM in tank twin fuel pump module:
Only to be not seen:
Ron ended up modifying some of the design and not using most of the hard pipe, but overall it came out quite clean:
The old AAM Stage 0 RFS:
That leads up to the last video where the car was filled with E85 and put on the dyno:
I picked it up the next day and did what anyone would do:
I got owned by a fast evo:
I am 289 on the left:
And that's all for now, hopefully I will get to go back with some better tires soon! Now with 9.5 mpg:

I got 12mpg on 93 pump gas. Switching to me was for the safety headroom that it provides, which in turn allows for more horsepower. If you don't have many E85 stations near you or your typical routes I wouldn't recommend it.
