Default RE: Roll Cage

Bro what elevation are you at!?!Im at sea level which helps alot.But anyone who knows racing will tell you that 400RWHP in a 3400lb car will net easy 11s.You deffently need to get some D/Rs Bro!That should net you about 2 tenths maybe 3 if you can drive.

That's great. I'm putting 433 to the ground and can only get 12.55 (street tires with 2000 rpm launch). It must be nice to hook up...

My car is about 3800lbs with my 190lb lard butt sitting in it. Rockingham is around 400ft. I pulled my 235 P-nothings and put some 275 G-Force Sports on it. That has helped some, but 1.95 is my best 60' with street tires. Until I get a job next year (I'm a student), my budget is shot. I need to drive this car every day as well. I can't afford to hurt it.
What kind of 60' times do you run? MusicCity gets about 1.6. That is about the best I've seen.

On my worst 60' of the particular day (1.97) I ran 12.7 with 306rwhp and virtually full weight. So much traction that you're afraid to break something is a powerful feeling. Get some ET Streets or Hoosier DOT Drag Radials and you will be much happier!

I need a roll cage for my car.Im looking for a pre bent set up that I can install myself.Anyone here know where to look?

Honestly I say just go all the way and get one welded in, its not that much more, in fact its about hlf the price of the Agent47 piece. I ordered mine from S&W Race Cars. The did the cage for the Evolution GT500.

Then you will not need to worry about things.

My chromoly 8pt, cost me about $600 with dual swing door kits, and the quotes I have seen for installing it are about $300-600. Of course I have a friend who is a very very good welder (it is his day job) so if your in the MD/DC/VA area he can do it for a good price =)
