Be careful with buying a used suit as most of them are dated now and some of the real old ones (the used ones that are for sale) cannot be re-certed anymore and are worthless unless the track tech doesnt look at them.

What is your height and weight? I have a MINT Pyrotect SFI 3.2A/20 1 piece that will fit a 5-8" 150 lb person that I may sell.

Yes same car will be running 1/4 this year and possibly the following a blower. As I understand the rules I need at least a 15 for a dragster and boots if tranny is in cockpit  such as a front engine.  And this is for anything quicker than 9.99.  Is this incorrect

that is a thought.  I currently have a tunnel over the tail shaft so I would only need to cover the body however don't I need to squeeze in a trans shield over the stock center, front is an ultra bell.

To get away from wearing boots a completey sealed fire wall must seperate the trans from the driver. Boots are cheaper and makes getting to everthing easier. A -5 is nothing more that a colorful clown suit that just seperates you as a driver from the spectators.
