From what I've seen on the websites that sell them, they looked like they were already welded on. If they aren't already welded on, then that's perfect.

For the most part, my car should be putting down numbers similar to a GT35R powered car. I plan to be running right around 30psi on E85. In your opinion, do you think I will be pushing the 135 mark?

How lenient? My setup "should" be able to get me into the 10's, though I'm sure with my inexperience it won't happen the first year.

Very possible. Your setup is better than my wife's she goes 132mph at that boost level in winter street trim.

Last time I raced my bike there, another kid was running his R1 in the 10s all day in jeans and sneakers, you're supposed to have full leathers and a teather anything 120+ and 10.99 or quicker. Another guy I talked to said he ran a 9 second car down there with just a lap belt and the tech guys just laughed at him because it was still a stock suspension car scooting around all over the track.

I also think anything 135+ needs a 10pt cage, not just an 8pt.
