Its got a safety loop, subframe connectors, all the fuel or transmission soft lines are NHRA approved stuff. It is still C clips, but it has rear discs so that's kinda poor mans safety device in back.
When I said "upgrades in the safety dept" I mostly meant things to keep the car safe. Like a rev limiter.
Its got a really nice converter in it, but the th400 itself was bought used off here. Supposed to be built, but you know how that goes. So I don't fully trust the trans itself.

I just took my rev limiter out. It was more of a problem than anything and it rarely, if ever did anything for me.
