I was running the stock stuff up untill late last year. Broke down and bought a stand alone. Got the Holley Commander 950 setup. Must say for the price it kicks butt, but sorry no rotory support with it. It does prety much everything all the more expensive setups do. And Holley's tech support rocks.
I have not had it on a dyno, but hope to get it on one within the next month. Just picked up the innovated LM-1 wideband to start messing with. I must say the running closed loop wide open throttle and letting the wideband o2 help out is pretty neat.
I hope it will make around 325hp or so at the wheels and around 400 or so on a 75shot.
The video above was without the 75 shot, I only got to run it once with the nitrous and it didn't like it very much in the lower gears and the car slowed in the 1/8th compared to off the bottle. But it cleared up in forth and took off and trapped 121mph. Once everything is lined out and get some slicks under it, I hope it will trap around 123 or so in the 1/4. So if the planets are all in alighnment, the wind is blowing the right direction, and I can get a good 60' there is a chance it will make it into the high 10's Not bad considering the stand alone EFI system that I probably don't even need cost more than I have in the rest of the whole car.

I need to get the car weighed but I bet it is up there. I'm going to guess around 2600# without driver. It has a 6 point autopower roll bar, the 8.8" ford rear end, and a 25# nitrous bottle.

Later

Lower the Car, get some better looking tires, pull that engine, get a haircut, walk the dog, mow the lawn, clean out the rain gutters, and post some new pics
