I believe at that speed/E.T. you will have to have some added safety precautions before running again. Maybe a cage or harness, I'm not sure exactly what the rules/guidelines are.

Cage, license etc required below 6.40 in the 1/8 mile

They said anything under 7.30 they require you have a roll cage. I have a helmet and fire jacket but no cage. I will be looking into one after I'm done doing the auto trans swap.
