Well, I have to get a transmission blanket and a flex plate shield. Called A&A transmission.
They tried to buy out csr and csr wanted too much money for the company so they said f that and are going to develop their own.
But this will be months out.
I obviously have no idea how fast my car will be but I'm just building it as if it will run in the 9s.
I have a feeling I'm going to making a fairly chubby car with all of the bracing and floor plans but safe is way better than what it was. I think my front spring box would have eventually tore through the floor.

You can still do your mods without a blanket and allow the expected room. If you look for the build pics of my car I have a ton of tubes in my floor and it's still light. I also have the tunnel and floor 'flanged' around the transmission. At some point it may be easier to do your own floor 'tin' especially if the old floor is cut out. With that said it's difficult to duplicate the 'shear-plate' strength of the factory floor in consideration of weight and integral strength.
