show me your chassis and cages? 7.50s cert 6.50s

hey guys im building my x275 drag radial camaro over the next few months into next yr. i want to see build pics of any cages 7.50 or 6.50 for fab ideas.
it will have a 400" little m with afr 227 heads. .650 lift solid roller custom grind, and blow through carb 850 on e85 same as the s10. looking to run high 7s. will have stock style suspension too. i have spohn tq arm with loops, offset lower control arms with rod ends, panhard bar with rod ends, and moser housing with tq arm mount.
im also installing a brace top bottom and back. will either have a glide or a th400. proably a glide cause im worried about too much wheel speed on the 28" tire. thanks guys.!!

If you're building a 6.50-7.50 cert cage, buy the SFI book. There may only be a few TGO members who have and need a 7.50 or quicker certification. You would have better luck asking on Yellowbullet.

Anything quicker than 8.50 needs a spec cage. It all depends on what spec you're building it to . There are at least five different 25.x cage specs depending on vehicle weight or tubing type.

"Fab ideas" won't get you a proper cage. Specific questions to basic layout or positioning will help a build.

^^^nice!

Check Stiletto's thread on here as well, he had a 25.5 done very nicely.

Definitely get the cert book from SFI as Stephen noted. If you want 25.2/25.3 for a cert faster than 7.50, you will need to use moly and it will all have to be TIG'd.
