6 point cage if your running as fast as 10.00 if you go faster than that you will need a 10point example 9.99 ,9.98 ect... now some tracks will let you slide but a lot will not ...

Wow, old thread... Bump!

Im ready to go race next Thursday(7 days from now)...

I have my SFI jacket
I dont have my bellhousing(but they cant tell

) !!!
I will have my rollcage and battery switch by then...
I have a D/S safetly loop and have my helmet..

I know my car weighed 3500lbs before the rollcage, but Im assuming after the rollcage, and I took some stuff out of the car I will be 3540ish, mayube I can get it down to 3500 or less, hopefully.. Ill be 3750-3800 with me in the car, ready to go..

490rwhp and 3.73s... I sure hope that will get me in the 10's

I have slicks and skinnys already..

some of them, then again I dont blame them. a lot of shitty ricers go and spill oil at the track ruining it for us...

Will 480rwhp @ 3650 raceweight(with me in it) and 3.73s on slicks and skinnys run 10s???

the 480rwhp is an estimate and my car maaaay weigh less than 3650, if Im lucky...

probably at a 3390 now and Im 265lbs... Im also gonna put in a rollcage, but maybe do some other stuff to save weight.

WIth a six speed probably not. You will need a 60 foot of a low 1.50 to crack the 10's. Hard to do with a six speed.

You will also need a single layer fire jacket and a SFI helmet. Most tracks dont check the helmet.

Your 7.80 1/8 mile was nowhere near an 11.99 pass, more like a 12.30/12.40
