Im already planning on going faster and need to explore what is going to take to cert to 7.50. Which is the easiest? 25.2 25.3 25.5 I am just tossing it around.....

I think that's all. Because of the stock floor you do not have to have the diagonals under the seat. Career best 8.02 @ 169 at 3050# and 10" tires small block power.

I have a dash bar, I have bars going out to the front frame rails (is that forward crossmember?) Im confused on x in the drive shaft tunnel?

The 'X' in the tunnel would go between your dimensionally legal subframe connectors possibly holding a driveshaft loop as well.

You do need a bar from the frame connector to the sill bar behind the seat. Only the bars in the divers compartment are part of the cert. the bars going from your dash bar out under the hood do not matter. if you have a 1 5/8ths cage now you can add the funny ca cage, roof bar and gussets pretty easy. If you are going to do this yourself you should get the sfi book as it lists all of the different sizes you can use. BB, TT5,Procharged 3300lb Street Car 4.79/154
