Took the car out tonight for a couple of runs with the Vortech Supercharger on it!

Track conditions were horrible and the car was spinning a bunch! Lazy 1.71 60' and bounced off the limiter on just about every shift.

I'm almost thinkin about going down in gear just a bit, car has 4.10's and could probably use a 3.73 as I was running out of gear on the big end as well.

Car was consistent 10.8's @ about 1253 DA Per drag times.com.

Should mention I drove the car there and back (1 hour each way) with no tire change (running et streets), and weight is right at 3800 lbs with me in it.

Are you going welded in, or bolt in?

welded, in all reality, you can cut a weld in out if need be, i'd rather have the extra strength of the weld in

i'm going with swingouts too, so not too bad for daily driving

I agree and welded mine in as well. The double swingouts make mine a breeze for street driving for sure.

Yes, I agree, but I'm going to need the back seat for the kids. I;d like to be able to bolt the cage in for the weekend every few months.

Not so simple. The crossbars and stuff still have to be welded. It'd not just unbolting the floor plates. As far as backseat. The lil ones will still be able to fit

Is the cage a kit or custom fabbed locally?

Congrats on already busting into the 10's :beer:
