We have guy making a cage for our truck. The price is very good from this guy and he would be a very good choice to help you with your cage. Thanks

The politics are with Don, always have been! That's the reason he would never deal with me, I ran out of Piers's shop!

What HP level were you at in that run? Reason I ask is if I couldn't push my 6400 lbs to low 11's or faster I really doubt I would even buy the slicks.



I do know at 650 hp or so it went 114 mph... ... years ago!

my truck weighed 6800 lbs and dynoed 1078. This was my first pass at the track and I herd something, lifted and got back on it 3 times! The noise was my ats manifold cracking and leaking.

I have looked at there web site before and was wondering how well do they fit? They seem to have good pricing.

 

[diesel_jeff]

I just wish you had put some AT tires on to keep Nick from taking the Tough Truck win! Great job anyway, makes me want to try to talk the wife into letting me run her truck in street class. Look forward to seeing you next time.

They dont fit Exact, Im sure noones will



you will need a Tubing Notcher,Grinder with a flexable disk,Protractor And so on.

Other than that its a nice fit:-laf



But all in all they do very good work and good quality

Ditto on what Michael said. S&W seems to have a pretty god handle on things. They do a good bit of cages.

I'd call Joe Hellmann and get a quote from him on the cage. You can go to Hellmann Performance Intercoolers, custom fabrication richmond texas, hellmann performance richmond texas, custom fabrication, diesel truck, welding, diesel performance parts, texas, powerstroke and get his contact info. He is doing the bar in RC Cox's truck. Here is a link to RC's pics:

Joe does great work, and he is a super guy to chat with.

 

[towner]

try Trent fabrication in Tahoe city. Trent Fab - Fabrication

He can build any spec cage you'd ever want but he's usually 3-4 months booked up. I trust his roll cages with my life

Okay I gotta ask... Why a roll cage? Are you planning on running quicker then 10. 00? Also are you 4x4?



From the NHRA rule book:Roll cage mandatory in cars running 10. 99 or quicker or any car exceeding 135mph. In full-bodied cars, with unaltered firewall, floor, and body (from firewall rearward, wheeltubs permitted), running between 10. 00 and 10. 99, roll bar permitted in place of roll cage.



Did you have a tech inspector tell you, that you needed a roll cage? Roll bars are a lot cheaper, lighter, and easier to fit into the pickups then cages.
