Just a simple two point is far more than enough to handle the job, any more and your adding weight.

I will share my opinion. My wifes WS6 T/A runs in the 12's and is a 6 speed. When the car was raced the method of launch was a 3,000 RPM side step on the clucth producing a 1.89 sixty foot. It has SLP connectors that are bolted on and are what I would call 8 point connection. The car has minor dipples in the top of the quarter panels.

On my Forumla that has run a best of 10.75 which is an auto leaves on the footbrake at 3,000 RPM's and has produced a best of 1.405 sixty foot. The car is non T-Top and has Kenny Brown Double Diamond connectors on it and a 10 point cage the car carries the front wheels pretty good and is level and plants the rear tires pretty hard. There are no dipples in the upper quarter panels at all. I also run STB's on both cars as well even though most people say there not needed for drag racing!

I would think you what your car as rigid as you can get it for strip use. IMO! I attached a photo of the car at launch so you can kinda see what I mean.

I hope this helps!

Im using bmr connectors i think. They are just your basic 2 points that are welded in. I started getting some dipples when i was running low 11s high 10s on spray. They are pretty bad but with a white car its hard to see.
