I am going to the track (Beaver Run) on July 1st and have a cage and SFC's to get installed. If you could only install one or the other, what would you do?

The cage. Both will stiffen the chassis, but the cage will save your *** if things go bad.

Another vote for a cage too. Turn 9 can be fun at speed or bad if you get it wrong. But i can say that my car had a cage in it and then I put SFC con on and just driving the car 5 ft out of the garge I could tell a difference.
