Anything faster than 11.49 requires a roll bar and anything faster than 150 mph requires a chute. That roll bar is definitely going to stand out in the best possible way being pink!

I think you mean 11.50 or faster :P
Lol I'm only 5'6" and I have a hell of a time climbing through just to paint it. Don't plan on doing another one anytime remotely soon.
be careful with where you put the plates for the bars, a lot of the time you'll get harassed around here for not having the plate in correctly and/or it not being thick enough. Back when my car had a 8pt in it, the NMCA techs would check that stuff non stop

I know I tend to a little overboard on safety and I understand the need for the roll bar in drag cars but running a roll bar and not wearing a helmet is a danger in itself. You get t-boned at an intersection you will find the roll bar very unyielding.
looks like she has just a bar which shouldn't be anywhere near her head.
when you bring the halo bar in for a 10pt+, thats when it gets dangerous, picture of mine for reference.

I would junk the volts gauge and get yourself a nice wideband like an AEM failsafe, maybe a failsafe for the boost gauge as well. It could save you if your engine leans out or overboosts. I would also suggest a trans temp gauge if you are an auto.
This is my setup: Aeroforce Interceptor on top, wideband below, and then trans temp in the vent.

I have a wideband and trans temp gauge saved, just haven't ordered yet. I wasn't sure on the set up and cost so I held off on those two for now.
