Just based off what I've read, I've yet to see a highly competitive combo in SG hitting the .400 tree on small tires. I do not think you can reliably hit the tire hard enough to get a hold of the tree unless you're reaction time is inhuman. SST is the way to go, you'll have more than enough time to plant the tire softly on the .500 tree. Also, the safetly changes that occur at 135 are really not a huge deal if you already take it seriously. Window net, gloves, closed face helmet are the main changes, but most people have that stuff anyway. 1000hp in SST at 2800# (min weight) would probably get you in the neighborhood of 150mph. If that's the case, the safety changes do become rather large. HANS device etc.

How much does the safety change From Super St to SG ?

No change in the safety rules at all.

Now, if you are on the slow end of Super Street (under 135 MPH) you can wear a thinner fire suit, no gloves, no window net) that you could never wear in SG.
