Reaction time will have NO input on the cars E.T. Your time starts when the car leaves the "beams". Reaction time only has a impact on class guys (like bracket racers).
I'm surprised at the required SFI jacket. Sounds like your strip has "special needs", due to where it is.
Also, a lot of drag strips don't like nylon oil line for aftermarket oil gages. I'll upload a video of inspection, maybe tonight or tomorrow.
Virtually, if you have your: battery anchored, two throttle springs, radiator overflow, factory or better seat belts, all lug nuts on, no leaks to speak of, I've never been denied in tech on a street car like ours.
Maybe you could find a friend to loan ya a helmet/jacket.....
