I'm betting that your car will need more updating than you think IF and I said IF the inspector checks under your car. A lot of inspectors don't but my car was on a rack at the time and it needed 6 bars added because of rule changes over the years when I updated my mild steel Daytona from 8.50 to 7.50.


And my Daytona already had a funny car type of cage.

According to the first NHRA inspector that looked at my car when I had it certified the first time for me here in division 6 said it all it needed was the funny car cage to be certed to 7.50 due to the amount of bars in the chassis under the floorboards, 6 from the rear suspension to the foot bar shruggy
This car has gone 6.80s at around 184 MPH before I bought it less engine, it had a blown B1 KB motor on Methanol back then. It sat for 6 yrs. before I got it 5 yrs ago shruggy
Hopefully the new, better bigger C.I., better headed motor will run 8.80 or quicker at 150+ MPH luck
