    hey dave, maybe you should go ahead and finish the floor bridge for a 25.5 setup while you have it cut out, would be easy and then you wouldnt have to do it later.

    Yeah, I couldn't decide if I could afford to do the whole works this year, so I kept changing my mind. Now I waited long enough that there isn't time to do it so it's getting done without the 25.5 this year. Just have to go slower than 8.50's I guess.

      For the love of god, will people please shut up about this. I'm pretty sure its not a secret that SLS has Shayne Laske weld some of his manifolds. Not hard to figure out. Why this is a concern to anyone is beyond me. I've personally watched Nick weld plenty of manifolds to attest to his welding ability. So what if he has so many to do that he cannot do them all himself? Sounds like he's doing good business to me and sub-contracting out work that he cannot finish himself. So please, shut up with the comments, i'm sick of deleting them.

      It's not a secret, Shayne DOES NOT weld our manifolds.

        why does everyone have to get sooo butt hurt on here about something joel says?

        its not like he is going out of his way to slander sls or anything. full race uses a robot. who cars.

        on a side note, do you run a quick lube out of your garage or was there a hell of a sale that day?

              Ok, that may be true, like I've said, I've seen you weld them. I thought perhaps he was helping out. Just to clear the air then Nick, does he cut flanges for you guys? I'm not trying to stir shit up, just trying to put this to rest once and for all.

                No, we drew up and programed all our own flanges and are currently cutting them @ my buddies work until our machine arrives. Our own machine in was picked up yesterday and is in transit as we speak from GA. Hoping to have it here and running w/in 2 weeks.

                Anyways, back on topic...

                          Its a cage. Now if someone could inform up on the specific details of one, that would be awsome.

                            It's the rollcage certification needed to run up to 7.50's. You need cage surrounding driver plus slew of other bars under the car. Basically a jungle gym.

                              25.5 is the SFI specification for the rollcage needed for 7.50 in a unibody car (as Fallguy said). It's basically a disaster of pipes running everywhere, lots of pipes in the floor, roof, etc.

                                Something tells me that even if it's only certified to 8.50's, there will be some low 8 high 7 passes ran by the blurr. And a few warnings to slow down will be given.:rolleyes:

                                  is the 25.5 the cool halo cage with like the little compartment between a zillion bars where u sit?

                                    This is one view of a 25.5 cage, you can't see all the crap in the floor.
