Need a 8 point cage to to dial faster then 11.49 so no cage for this Monte

I'm confused now. You are doing major chassis mods to the car, cutting the firewall out, moving the engine back and you don't plan on going faster than 11.49? You are losing all of the strength of the body by modifying the firewall, and you aren't going to at least put a 6 point roll bar to tie the new frame pieces you are putting in to the original frame? What is going to hold the motor plate in place? With a motor plate, you need a mid plate and lateral limiters.

As far as I know, any track that does a real tech inspection will require a chassis cert. on a car with modified firewall or floor

I'm sorry I thought this was a forum asking questions from experienced racers with NHRA licenses that have competed in Super Gas, Super Stock and Super Pro Eliminator with multiple cars. But now I see its for make believe ideas and when you question them you are wrong. I'm out.
