i agree with the above posts, with the wolfe you have a few options but they all fit like a glove, you can always add the front half in down the road if you need to..

*If I remember correctly*, cars running faster than 11.5 in the 1/4 require a rollbar. Can't remember what the requirement for a full cage with a-pillar hoop is.

Yet another vote for the Wolfe Cage

I have the 6-pt - installed nicely and fit everywhere perfectly. Well worth the $$

Here are NHRA 2007 Rules - highlighted in Red is cage section:

2007 NHRA Rules - 12-27-2006

While it remains the responsibility of the racer to know the rules pertaining to his/her vehicle and class I would like to highlight some rules that will be enforced in the 2007 Season at Redding Drag Strip. It is important to note that there have been changes in the rules from 2006.

For Super Pro, Pro and Sportsman: (and/or street legal racers)

Super Pro ET: 7.00 to 11.99
Pro ET: 10.00 to 13.99

Get swingouts so you can take them out when you are driving on the street.
