You guys officially talked me into it. Ordered my Wolfe 4130 8.50 cage kit. I don't think I'll ever need anything more.

Pretty sure he was referring to a 8.5 cert cage.

Yeah my bad. I just meant I don't see myself ever going faster than 8.50. Personal goals are 1000whp and 150mph traps. I know I still have plenty left to buy... thanks for reminding me. Joy.

In other news; I got my new Jaz center section container today. I also finished cleaning out the housing. It's now ready for modification.

Little progress today. Nothing crazy, but moving forward. I'm pretty much in wait mode for the parts to start filtering in.

Started the day cutting the subframe connectors off. Followed up with more interior removal to prepare for the cage. Finished up doing some hole cleanup in the engine compartment.

Few more parts to share! Got lucky on finding this subframe... no mounts, manual rack, turbo style, and not red! Also got my motor plate and hvac blockoff setup and my 4l80 4130 crossmember!
