So looking at parts and I notice this SFI rating stuff. I know it's for racing and "better" parts but is it necessary to have SFI approved parts?

My car is gonna be a go fast, show and maybe once in a while hit up the track and play car.

If your doing normal test and tune stuff with your car ill think you will be fine unless your running a 25.3 tube chassis

If you plan on regularly reving > 6k rpm then it is a good idea to have SFI rated harmonic balancer, flywheel and bellhousing.
Your appendages will appreciate it.

Get the SFI stuff, it means you will have quality and reliability in the design.

It's worth it
