I know I need a 5 point roll bar right now, but up to what speed do I need to upgrade to the cage. I would like to achieve right around 11.5 or so. I plan on supercharger and have just ordered my blower cam. I refuse to get a cage, as it would look silly with the top down, but I don't know how fast I can go before they require one. I basically plan to push as much boost as possible, if I can atain 11.0 and still use the 5 point I will. I know I will need a driveshaft loop soon, maybe fire exstingusher, anything else? I'm hoping for mid 12s this summer, I'll see if this new cam will push enough power to get there before the charger!

I'm looking at the same issues. My best info has been that you can go with a 4-point cage up to 11.00. The 5-point is required for road racing. After 11s it get ugly in a 'vert... [Eek!]

I have a 5 point now and I kow that I will have to go to a 10 point if I go faster then 10.99.

I saw a pic here a little while back that had a bad a$$ cage. It made the vert look even better. Do a little search and I hope i can find the pic too because I am in the same boat you guys are. Alan
