    well cage work isnt cheap, and I'm No certified welder, so I had no problem forking the money over, cage+install= 1,000.00 bucks, and where I'm getting it painted is going to cost about 300.00 most of the cost on paint will be the prep work not the painting

            That was a good price, I have had a few est. for my SS and they have all been over $2,000 for an 8 point setup

              My "drag car" will still have a heater box. Those early spring evenings and late fall evenings are much more fun when you can turn the heater on.

                I totally agree with you on that one! If any of you guys need a cage put in Chad does great work, normally charges around 600 buck to install, and the cage after shipping is around 400 bucks, so a 1000.00 total. I myself tore most of the interior out. Hes located in a small town about 15 miles away from New Ulm. For those of you whom dont know where that is its about 30 miles west of mankato. He had mine done in less than a week, not bad for him also having another full time job

                  Well if you make enough Power and have long tubes , that is all the heat I need, just turn the fan on and bingo heat!

                    true that.

                    The T5s have a tendency to heat up the trans tunnel too

                                That definitley is nice job, The only thing that won't certify(if you plan on it) is your main hoop mounts that are semi boxed on the floor. The reason I know is that I got shot down caging a car and doing the exact same thing. I know they say you need a 6x6 but NHRA wants it formed to the floor. I hope you have better luck than I did.
