AMC Eagle wagon EFI 4.0 head/cam 4.2 block, E85

Visit the AMC Eagle nest at www.amceaglenest.com to see how I built this car. Sorry the audio and video aren't that great, too many cars on the highway during the day to do it. 0-75 from a dig then 65-85 in 3rd... Finished this wagon shortly before July of last year, now has dual fuel pump setup, unfortunately the bosch is very noisy, and the speedometer doesn't register correctly - under hard acceleration the car is traveling 5-7mph faster than it shows until steady, I need to check the connection at the VSS. True 0-60 is 8 seconds, at 4900 ft, E85. Also need to fix my spongy clutch issue :(

Mods: 95 Jeep XJ 4.0L engine computer/harness/intake manifold/exhaust, 92 4.0 cam and cylinder head, .030 pistons, 60mm bored tb, sport wagon rear swaybar, Cherokee Country wheels, AX15 trans and NP249 transfer case (wagon was T5 factory, one of around 2000 made in 1983), 24lb injectors, E85 compatible fuel system and engine, 45k volt coil 10mm wires, 2.73 gears on 205/75/15s.

I am at nearly a mile above sea level. You lose 3% of horsepower for every 1000 feet in elevation. My 96 XJ 4.0 with same 5 speed did 0-60 in 8.5.

When the brake pedal is spongey there's usually air in the lines. I assume that a clutch would be the same

thats a lot of work, but my jeep grand cherokee with the 4.0 already does 0-60 in 7.5 seconds with a decent launch
