I have a question for you guys with h/c packages. Do you have roll cages and if not what does you track say about it? Robz I know you go to MIR and that my home track. I was going to get a exhaust and maybe cam only but did not want to get a cage. I have been 11.70's with just tire and cai, so I know I will go better than 11.50's with just an exhaust.

If you are going better than 11.50 you will need a rollbar. I'm having a custom one welded in. If you are planning to compete for money or points you are going to want an iHRA and NHRA legal bolt/weld in, if you just want to keep tech off your back you could go with a bolt in.

Yeah, the tracks are getting stricter every year.There's no way around the rollbar anymore. I only went once to MIR to compete in an 11.5 index and felt it was the best track I've run on.
