Is that cage built from a kit? Or is it custom built?

Cage was custom built by a NHRA certified welder so I know it will pass tech

Lol yeah I know its getting up there but I knew around what ballpark I was going to spend. I didn't want to get a already fast car what's the fun in that? I could keep the cost down but when its done I don't have to worry about anything. Plus it'll look and drive super nice.

I was overseas for 4 years. Building a car has always been a dream of mine. Being gone for so long I think I deserve it

That's awesome! Haha. So true. Mine has helped by painting the cage, hands me tools, and picked out the interior colors. I can't wait to hear this thing run! Hoping to be done within a couple of months. Trying to make it to Reno for Hot August nights

I can try to get one. It was a 29x19 I believe...mine is not mounted in the traditional spot. I actually mounted mine in front of the core support to add room for the monster t6 turbo along with electric fans.

I really like it. The only "mod" that I had to do to it is cut the front right plentem bolt down cause the fuel rail mount makes it so you can't start the bolt.

Order the intake well before you need it. I waited almost 3 months after ordering it. (Back ordered)

Huh, did not have that issue with mine. And I had to wait forever as well....about 5 months. But I hear that there are some sponsors on here that have some ready to ship!
