Default I need a Roll cage....what do i need what don't i need? Help a boosted brother out!

The other day i ran a 11.223@123.99mph. I was told i needed a roll cage! So winter is coming up and this will make a great time to get a cage and install it. What I want to know is what kind of cage i need (6point,door bars ect)! And who make good ones and where to buy them!

if you dont plan on going more than 135 in the near future... a standard 5 point is minimum to get you past tech at the speed your going now

You can buy the sw cage and have it installed, just buy the 10 point and use as much as you want to! I would go with a six point. Cages suck on daily drivers if not done right, so spend the extra dough and get er done! RIGHT that is! Nice times!
