You completely ignore the fundamentals of how Stock suspension stuff works. It has nothing to do with chassis certification, that's merely the type of cage, as well as how well it is fabricated and welded. It's the suspension and handling that will be the problem. And you might want to call Hoosier and Goodyear, and ask them if the lightweight 9" radial slick is really designed to run 150+ with a 3400#+ car, and stock type suspension.
