Well if it were ME and I wanted a Superbad car that I know would be almost bullet proof, then I would cage and do option 1, interior work is always easier to do at a later time.

PLUS once all the motor/rear mods are done then it is way easier to keep it clean since people will not be crawling all over your car.

I found out the EE catch can has issues with the mounting bolt.
http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=155468

Apparently, it has been known to snap due to fatigue.

EE sent me a new mounting bracket today for free. I'll be putting it on soon.

I sort of figured that would be the consensus of the crowd who hangs out in this thread...

I think I'm going to need to add a cage and a helmet to the list.

Thanks, Bruce. I am really on the fence about those billet covers. I love my Roto-fab engine covers that showstopper custom painted for me, but I also really like the look of those polished billet covers. I think I just need to buy another Camaro so I can have both.

Maybe I'll wait until the pleather starts to show signs of wear before going to option 2.

I'm just wasting time and spinning my wheels while waiting for my drag radials...
