Default 94 Z28 Street Legal Drag Car Boost/Nitro

This is my build thread. Just bought a 94 Camaro, she will be stripped and rebuilt. The engine going is a 454 LSX, Turbo 400 trans. Since this is my first "newer" Camaro build, I have a few questions.
Any pre-cut moly cages available?
Anyone running a 4-link rear?
Specific companies that sell performance parts for this year F-body?

I have always purchased parts from Jegs, Summit, TRZ, Moser, etc...looking for this generation speciality companies.

Pics coming, project has just started. My goal is a 6 to 7 second 1/4 car. I will start by removing chassis weight and install all lightweight parts, K-member, hood, nose braces, rear, control arms, etc....install a moly cage with lightweight racing seats and harness. Chop up the rear wheel wells to install larger tubs. Engine block LSX, rotating assembly Lunati 427ci. Boosted with juice. Turbo 400 trans, possibly power glide.

I will call the car my Stang Eater!

To run 6's or 7's your not looking at a basic weld in cage... If in all seriousness you want to go that fast I hope you got some deep pockets lol... Your better off dropping the car off and having a 25.3 done to it and go from there.

Yes, that is the plan. I can weld a 25.3 cage, just looking to buy one pre cut bent and notched. I just sold my 2012 tube chassis Camaro. I want a street legal drag car.

I'm not sure you will find a 25.3 kit. All of the ones we do are somehow custom. I don't think we have ever done one exactly like another.
