Thank you all for the compliments. I am planning on doing an R154 swap. Yes, I do still have a stock bottom end, it will not be stock for long. Bottom end is next, then transmission. I already have the transmission, just waiting on little parts to come it. 
Here is one of the videos someone took from a car meet a few weekends ago. Someone entered me in the 2-Step Competition, this is the video from the first round. And yes i did win the competition

hahah if you only knew. The main problem I have with the FIC is that you have to tune it based on the weather. I live in Georgia so one day it's cold, and then one day it is hot, so therefore im constantly adding or taking out fuel. The easy part is adding and subtracting fuel to get the AFR correct. Other than that I honestly do not know what to do.
