Same one I have.

8pt. S&W, went in pretty stress free.

What the fuck are you quoting yourself for? Your link has like 5 different options in there.

Your an idiot

[theidealone]

And youre a faggot. Point made.

[theidealone]

Unless youre planning on building a slow car, go with a 10 point. Or put the 8 point in, get sent home for trapping 135+, and be pissed when you have to cut your cage out, to fix it. And then let me know before you kill yourself, so I can say "I told you so". Plus, how the fuck can you be "too safe"? If I were building a race car, I would put a cage in a 12 second car. Fuck it. If I hit the wall going 110, or 150, its gonna fuckin hurt. Id rather be safe than sorry. But thats just me.

So by that logic why didn't you just build an SFI 25.3 spec?

Cost comes to mind...

"[Can't be too safe]"... So there is a point of where your safety has a cost. Which is my point, obviously others have that point as well, just not at the same point as yours.

I'm putting a 25.2 cage in something that MAY one day run 8.50's, why? Because I want the added safety factor, and two because I can use all the extra chassis rigidity I can get, which will also help keep me out of the wall. If it means an extra year building so be it.

FWIW materials for an SFI spec cage are only a couple hundred more, but the time fitting and installing is the killer.

Yea, its more so, if I went 25.5 or something similar, it shouldnt be a prebent, off the shelf kit. And I dont have a pipe bender, nor the experience to do that shit myself. Where as, S&W and the other similar companies make a 10 point vs. an 8 point cage, and the cost is about 100 bucks difference. And it really isnt that much more work. So why half ass it? Itll actually cost MORE money to upgrade and redo the whole thing.
