I'm just on the fence about putting a cage in my car and it goes 10.91 at 124.8 so I just put 11.55 on my window. As long as I run the smaller street tires on it it stays in the mid 11 range but when I put the slicks on she runs too fast for the rules  Gus

I ran this car for 3 years in the 10.70s before being summoned to the tower and told to slow it down or leave. I left and the next season came out with a full roll cage good to 8.50.
It now has been as quick as 10.15 and never gets questioned.
Just curious but didn't you atleast have a rollbar in it when running 10.70's ? Ron

Hurricane Sandy bag here. But track legal for what I have.
Four Gear. I'm off the beaten path for a while, but IIRC You just need a roll bar, not a roll cage if you are at 10 oh and up.

I won't cut up my DD truck to put a bar in, but can usually run all out at a private track rental. There's one track I go to that will let me TnT without the bar but won't let me compete and then again another track where I pushed my luck too far and tech won't let me back on the track without a bar even when I told them I'd slow it down. Lessoned learned...Never piss off a tech or the track owner. Plus its real simple for me to do a pulley swap to slow it down on race day.

My car is legal to 8.50... but I'm not... I'm good to 10.0 and I run a lot of 10.0 stuff... mech throttle stop and low rpm launch and low shift points puts me dead on 10.00

How are your rear bars mounted in the truck?
They go below the bed cover...

I have gone 9.23 ETat 143.+ MPH in the 1/4 accidently when trying to dial in the throttle stop 
I'm taking the car to the MATS race and I'm having a good freind and customer who is licensed to run my car all out, maybe it will run 8.80+ at or above 150.00 MPH with him(160.lbs) in the car
