25.5 certification can be mild steel or moly steel. If your not at that level of certification, then it's 8.50. The basic upgade includes "X" the door bars, funny car cage, larger tube diameter behind the seats, gussets on the intersecting corners and a couple bars under the driver, one under the seat and one under your feet.

Anything can be updated. I used to have the 25.5 spec, but I gave it away. It costs money to order the spec. You can find info at:

Slower than 8.49 you can just use the specs in the NHRA OR IHRA rule book. 8)
