Is there any way to use racing belts (i.e. Simpson, G-Force, etc.) with stock seats? If I have to get seats also I'll get some good ones but I really don't want to fork out $600-$800 bucks for seats. How do the ones that aren't roll bar mounted bolted on anyway? On the back of the seat or something? I have a new motor ready to drop in and it MIGHT get me to the 12's, which is racing belt time according to NHRA rules I think, it will be close. It'll probably be slower, LOL.

I have a friend who bolts his to the rear floor board and crosses them behind the seat so they stay on his shoulders....works fine.

I personally would never wear a 5 point harness without a roll cage.

Yea, I have enough dough saved up to really make my car haul some ass, but I should do the responsible thing and save some for college plus my pops wanted me to "take it easy" on my first engine rebuild. I'm really starting to wish I got some AFR's but oh well. And yea, Mike's the man, high 12's low 13's on completely stock motor, I was goina make it my goal to catch him but gave in when I found a 5.0 motor for $350. I think a 13.40 is pretty good for a stocker, eh?

Wait till you are in the 11's to get a harness and a roll cage.
