Chris, with just the blower, you can get away with an SFI rating of 1, which is what you wore last year, or roughly equivalent to the flight bag you wore or that the pilots wore... I guess you were probably in a wet/dry suit... but the higher the SFI rating, the better off you are... I would recommend an SFI rating of at least 5. If you get a SFI 1, then wear some insulating stuff under it... preferrably fire retardent insulating stuff...long sleeve sweatshirt or preferrably long sleeved nomex undergarments... If, the worst were to happen, while the suit may protect you from direct skin flame contact, it will not do much for the steam burns that occur... Firefighters coats/pants are made up of three layers... The flame resistant outer shell, the insulating layer, and the inner vapor barrier...

Ok. I"m confused.
We didn't USED to have to have them unless we were sub 11.5 secs. So they assume that because we have a blower that's not stock that we are a sub 11.5 car? And we HAVE to wear the suits? Just getting clarification. If we have to have it, so be it. I"m just wondering if it changed recently or do my local tracks bend the rules AND SGMP did? We were kinda caught off guard last year.

I believe it's any forced induction or spraying car you are required by NHRA/IHRA to have at least a racing jacket... I believe with N/A, it's required for runs faster than 11.5... Again, don't quote me but...

Are you gonna run the 345's all the time when you get them? Or just on the track?
What brand and type of tire? I have Nitto Invo's in 345's and still don't have any traction in first and second even when I ease up to full throttle. And I don't even have half the power you do!

That looks good, and is the same rating as mine... Just be careful with that vendor... note the first few letters... rndperformance... It might be a ploy by the rebel forces... That might be RandyPerformance... He's trying to suck you in... Get your money, buy mods, and fail to deliver anything...
