your motor even with a 500 fogger wouldnt make enough to do that. now if your wanting to run at the track then i think at 10.99 you have to have one for crash safety.

At 11.49 or faster you need a rollbar. SFCs should stop your car from twisting.

We recently cut a 6 point cage out of a 99 Z28 T2 car. T2 means it had to run a full interior.

The 4 point roll bar and rear down stays are in tact. Weld on some floor plates, drill a few holes and you have and instant bolt-in cage.

Made from .120 wall DOM mild steel tube. Needs to be cleaned up and painted.
