need to pass tech for LSX shootout
need to pass tech for LSX shootout Hey guys, im trying to get my car ready for the shootout in memphis and i need to know what all i will have to have. My car has a roll bar in it now but i will be adding door bars before i go. It has a Th350 w/ a blanket but if you look under the car you can see the flexplate so what kind of sheild will i need and which one fits the best. The car should run high 9's or around 10. 0's on gas. I have a drive shaft saftey loop and the rear has the 5/8 studs so i think im good there. I also have the 5 point harness but i havent checked the dates on them. what else will i need? Thanks
Does the CSR sheild cover for the bell housing?? That is also a cause for concern, again depending on ET and MPH. I went on summit and had a whole mess of different styles

CSR shield covers the whole tranny and takes care of that, that's what I have on my car.
driveshaft loop, battery shutoff if it's relocated, up to date harness, metal valve stems in the rims, long enough front and rear studs (rear's are good if you're on a 5/8 for sure) SFI approved flexplate and balancer.
That's all I can think of, I don't have the rule book in front of me but I'm sure that's 90% of it if not all of it.

Check the NHRA tech thread I created for this very question, it will be in the sticky section. Come prepared, NMCA tech will check everything.

Couldn't agree more. They dinged me for some pretty tick-tack stuff as well last year when we were there.
Out of date belts is the biggest BS they have going. Unless the belt has been cut or in a serious wreck it doesn't just go bad after 2 years. This is just the NHRA trying to make more money.
