I was never against a cage. Every summer for the last 5 years I said it was getting a cage this winter. Every year the car ended up going faster. It was probably a good thing I waited as long as I did. I never though I would have this car running 8's afew years ago, so I probably would have had a 6 point bar put in at the beginning. Now I am realistic, the car keeps evolving, so I am setting it up for the next step. All I wanted to do was run 10's, then 9's, then built a stage block for reliability, and then figured I would try to push a 3 bolt turbo in the 8's, it happened on the 3rd pass.
BTW, the Kirkey seats are more comfortable than the stock seats and weigh 47lbs less combined!!!!
