Looking good! can’t wait to see how it performs with the new tranny and WOT Box. I almost bought a WOT Box, but was afraid it might damage the cats on my long tubes. The no lift would have been nice too on my manual tranny.
I think if you sat on the two step for a bit that it would super heat the cats enough to create some challenges for you. Maybe I'm naïve of other implications, but damn is it fun to have.

Hi all. I should be picking up a drum of e85r from One Ethanol this week. It just got back in stock locally at Nth Moto. I am also working on bringing home a new all aluminum enclosed car hauler (early May). Should be a great start to the season.

That’s awesome! I’m looking forward to hearing how she runs down the 1/4. Have you had a chance to do any backroads testi to see if the new trans works properly in all respects?

I'm almost through a tank of 93. I've had the car out a lot recently and from a DD perspective, it's solid. As soon as I swap back to e85, I'll push into boost.

Sometimes you just need to do dumb shit and get the job done. Picked up the e85r drum today after work. They loaded it in the truck with a fork lift. I then drove to Lowes and got two 2x6x10 boards. After I got back to the house..it was time to tempt fate. Once I slid the drum down the 2x6s to the driveway, I needed to muscle the drum up the driveway and across the garage floor. I should own a dolly, but I don't. I got the drum resting up on some wood to create separation from the concrete. Glad it went well in the end.. The electric transfer pump comes early next week.

Make sure you ground the barrel before you start the pumping process. Better safe then sorry.

Are you gonna burn that for street driving or use it at the track only? It didn‘t take me long at all to burn through 30 gallons of it.

I made it on about 50 gallons of fuel for all of last season lol. This will be the first season the car is ready to go on time. I'll use this primarily for track purposes. I have a good station locally that has 85%+ from the pump that I'll commute on.

No file today, I was too late in the week to get it by the weekend. My fault. Hopefully early next week. Since the car will be resting comfortably this weekend waiting on the new file, I will stain my fence instead. Got it chemically washed today before dark. Should be ready to stain Sunday. That'll be nice to have off my plate this year before race season.

Also got the fuel drum grounded to the ground stake. @fmc_smt thanks for thinking of my safety.

Wife made a move today and swapped out her 2019 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk Hemi 5.7 for a 2020 Grand Cherokee SRT 6.4. She's quite pleased. I couldn't be happier for her to have a toy as well. She watches me go crazy on this mustang and wanted her fill. She's a great life partner and deserves the world.
