Running 10.5's in 1/4...need to know what I'm needing for safety equiptment at track

So i'm in the middle of getting my 355 built...will have everything in sig, with stage 2 ported heads, blower cam, forged bottom end, MSD opti and wires, spec stage 3, nitto 555r...I know im going to need a cage and 5 point harness, but im sorta new to track regulations. What all am i going to need to run 10.5's and not get kicked out of the track? PICS please!!

No substitute for a NHRA or IHRA rule book, but if you don't have access to one, NHRA has a "quick reference" table of the requirements on their website:

http://www.nhra.com/tech_specs/ETQuickRef.html

To run 10.5, you don't need a "cage", you need a 5-point roll bar.

Other things:
-Aftermarket axles (c-clip eliminators)
-SFI bell housing (try and find )
-driveshaft loop
-SFI clutch
-SFI damper
-Approved helmet
-roll bar padding
-fire jacket

Not to be pessimistic or anything, but you're still in the thin air of Colorado. I highly doubt you'll get to the 10s, even with your forged motor.
