A FULL ROLL CAGE is required at 9.99 and will get you down to 8.50.
6 and 8 point ROLL BAR is needed from 11.49 to 10.00 flat.
I put a full cage in from the get go. 1 5/8 chrome moly so as to not have to add to a 1 3/4 roll bar and have different size tubing.
Yep, your right, missed that. Kinda confusing the way they say roll bar is good in all cars to 11.00, then say they're ok to 10.00 in full bodied cars. I assume they're saying altereds, rails, etc. are not full bodied cars.
