Convertible cage requirements?
I am having a sponsor wrap up my car with a mild H/C setup (probably 224/244 on a 114), should be near 400 RWHP, then my two stage Nitrous on top of that so 500-550 RWHP when its all said and done. I have 2 tracks near me a IHRA 1/8 mile (Oxford Plains), and the 1/4 mile New England Dragway (NED).
I am thinking I should be in low to mid 11's. Do I need a five point or six point cage, being I am a convertible?
Are there any cages availible that do not require cutting of the waterfall?

A roll bar is required in any convertible running 13.99 seconds or quicker in the quarter mile, and in other cars beginning at 11.99. The roll bar is accepted in vehicles running as quick as 10.00 second e.t., provided the stock firewall and floorboard is intact, other than for installation of wheel tubs.
...
If the floor and/or firewall has been modified, then a full roll cage is required beginning at a 10.99 e.t. A full roll cage is required in any vehicle running 9.99 seconds or quicker, and any vehicle running 135 mph or faster (regardless of e.t.).

Good luck!
