I have been working on my car over the winter and decided to tackle the 25.3 cage myself. I was told i couldnt do it by folks that dont know me very well.
The car is getting quite a few changes for this season (should have been testing already but health problems and customer cars havent allowed for the most time on my own)
Background: This car has been 5.20@138 1/8 on the box stock armageddon kit just like customers receive, and 8.18@166 1/4 at 3500 pounds with powerglide and MPS engine.
I am still running stock Boss camshafts and will continue with those this season. The engine will not change this year with exception of a much needed freshen up and new valve springs.
Will also be using the powerglide as well this year, It was one i bought used and made some modifications to last season. Very happy with this setup as its reliable and bulletproof.
I did make a change to a 9" rear differential for piece of mind.
Weight reduction has taken place at any spot i can possibly get weight off and I have added in a DJ safety 10LB cold fire suppresion system along with other safety upgrades. I would like to see car in the 3200LB range with me this year.
I started with the Wolfe CM 10 Point I installed in the car when it was MT82 setup. I purchased Wolfe CM funny car cage kit and some CM tubing and the SFI 25.5 and 25.3 book. I spoke to a few chasis shops and got prices on roll cage from 5000$ to 8000$ and most wanted to cut out my current 10 piont wolfe cage and start over.
The car is far from finished and with customers car coming first I am probably about 2 months out on testing.
Also i am fabbing up my own belt drive fuel pump setup and moving tank to front. This year we will be on E85 still but have plans for M1 next season.
We will be using an AEM for controlling the new Garrett GT4088s this season.
