Anyone using SFI TH 400 cases?
So you guys in the 10s and faster are you using blankets, CSI shields, or one of the ATI type SFI TH 400 cases?

I use a basic blanket. Seems a little cheesy though. The CSI shield looks pretty slick but I have not used one.

I use the Shield and it is nice other then getting those two damn bolts out on the sides, especially with a mid plate. The clearance u have now will be worse on yours being your firewall is closer lol

I use a blanket on my current 8 second race car with stock HD case (and the previous 9 second car)- with an oil cooler, no problems ever.
We use after market cases on some of our customer builds - no need for a trans shield or flexplate shield but the case is a fair bit heavier. ATI SuperCase has CNC machined case passages, the Reid has as cast passages, both very sturdy pieces. |

I have a shield and the two top ones are heck to get to. The cases look kind of pricey.

I could not fit a shield on my previous 71 Ventura.
Any other options? |

Have the CSI on my '68. Had to drill holes in the floor to access the two top bolts. Made things so easy I drilled two more for the middle ones. Of course not everyone will want to ventilate their floor but I just flap the carpet over them. Used to have rubber plugs for the holes but don't even bother with them anymore

CSI shield here. I drilled holes in the firewall to get to the middle bolts. The rest are decent to get to in my G-body.

I think floor holes would definitely make it easier!
