DV,
You will need a full cage to go faster than 11.00 and a full SFI 3 layer jacket/pants/boots/gloves. Also to go into the 9's you will have to get an NHRA competition license [3 slow runs and 3 full runs] You will also need a solid axle, no independent rears allowed if you have one.
Also a rated parachute for your weight.
Good Luck,
Perry.
