Heads and cam are going on order this week. I'm tired of waiting. I might not be able to use the juice at all till I get a cage.

Patrick let's put your cage in. I need to know how much work it is. I hope I can install/remove my cage every season.

I don't think you'll be wanting to remove it after each season. Looks like a bitch but actually after you do it once and you know the routine maybe it'll be easier.

11.49 or 135 mph and you need a 6 pt roll bar.

That's what i'm hoping for. I'll have to buy another car if I can't remove it for the wife.

I'll have mine here in about 2 more weeks, if Patrick doesn't have his installed yet, we can get mine in there anyways.

AND, if you give me a hand I'll just give you my stock axles for back up. Deal?

They'll let you run till you break the 11.50 mark. Then just dial it back a bit.

If you get swing outs on both sides it's fine. You can use the car like there is no bar. Just the back seat is out of the question.

That's how I ordered mine, dual swing outs. Yeah, back seat is unusable, but I have only had people sit back there maybe 3 times in 3 yrs. LOL!
