That sounds good to me.

How hard is it is to get one of these cars down under the 3200lb limit set for a 25.2 car? I dont see my car going faster than a 7.50 1/4. I am just tryin to decide between the 25.2 and 25.5. Is there are reason you prefer one over the other?

I'm planning on being at a 3050 race weight(i'm 205lbs) with a lsx block..

I've dun a good amount of cutting and weight reduction though..Little things add up..Theres not 1 single stock wire in my car.Getting rid of all that **** alone is like 25-35lbs...3200lbs is pretty easy to obtain with a nitrous car..Even a turbo car if you spend some money in the right places..

I spoke with MADMAN about my 25.5 conversion...here is what I'm doing. My two down bars are going from the top of the main hoop to right above the spring pockets (factory subframe). I am putting a 1 5/8" bar inbetween these two bars at the bottom then tying the required rear frame rails into this bar close to where they intersect with the downbars.

I have to cut out the 1 1/4" bar I have in there now (left over from my sportsman cage) and replace with 1 5/8" bar
