One step closer...To going really fast...
I ordered a roll cage for my car today. This and the addition of a nine inch will finally allow me to run Brandi like she wants to be run.
I ordered the RPM cage from John at TrackSpec Motorsports. They are running a group buy, and the more people that buy the better the price point. Check out the thread and jump in now while the getting is good... I ordered the six point cage with the eight point add on pieces... This will allow me to run legally as fast as 8.50, though my car isn't capable of that yet. It is capable of running nines, and I'll be running 200+ in the standing mile event here in Texas... Here is the thread with the rest of the information.. http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...=1#post3338362 We met the number of cages for the maximum discount... If I'm not mistaken, we get an 18 percent discount overall....

Thanks, I'm amazed every time I drive it... My builder did some amazing work... The crazy thing is this is still on a very conservative tune...
We are only running 12 lbs of boost, and 12 degrees of timing... For our run at the mile, we will be cranking up to around 18 lbs of boost, racing fuel, 116 octane, and a 150 shot of nitrous... This ought to put us up around 1200 hp, or thereabouts...

Sounds like you are getting that MONSTER ready to roll. Keep it straight and hold on tight.

Hey Rob.... She's getting close... I'm working on mocking up a fuel cell for under the hood to put race fuel in. I'll mock it up with cardboard, and then cut out aluminum to match the pieces and Corey will weld it up....
