Can any of you all give me a clarification on what jacket SFI spec I need? I found this online for the NHRA specs for 9.99 and faster:

With OEM or steel firewall: jacket and pants meeting SFI 3.2A/5
spec and gloves meeting SFI 3.3/1 spec mandatory.

Without an OEM or steel firewall, with nitrous oxide, supercharged,
or turbocharged, or any car with an automatic transmission in the
driver’s compartment: Jacket and pants meeting SFI 3.2A/15 spec,
gloves and shoes or boots meeting SFI 3.3/5 spec mandatory.

I am running a turbo. I was confused on if the second part ment:
w/o a steel firewall and with a turbo

or

without a steel firewall or with a turbo.

Thanks.

I believe its w/o a steel firewall and a turbo


edit: I think this is where you fall
Front Engine Blown or Closed Bodied w/o OEM or steel firewall 9.99 to 7.50

here is what is different if thats right
protective clothing: SFI 3.2A/15 including pants
gloves: SFI 3.3/5
shoes: SFI 3.3/5

Blown pertains to roots type, centrifugal and turbochargers

these rules are from 2004 I don't know if they a have changed or not since then

Rules have changed this year. still need to pick up a book. I have heard any car with N2O now requires a jacket and helmet...even a 14 sec car

These rules are really getting confusing! When do you need pants and gloves?

Yes its a little confusing the last couple years..

Here is the sportsman rules (what 99.9% of us are running) right out of the rulebook.

I dont know how that would apply to meth injection on a gasoline powered car, guess thats up to the guy at the track doing the tech..

So since i'm not running alcohol, the last paragraph does not apply correct? So for 9.99 and faster w/ a turbo it would be 3.2A/5 on the jacket and pants if i'm reading it right?

Yes, if you have an OEM or full .024 firewall in a closed car and the transmission is covered.

You need 3.3/1 gloves also.

I have the gloves and pants already. I just needed a new jacket so I wanted to confirm what the new rules were. Thanks kp!
