Sub-frame connectors... Please build them correctly!

While you comment is true.....sometimes it is better to allow SOME flex (usually torsional) to help keep everything planted. My current race car (non-Mopar) is stiff enough it tends to lift the front tire during the hairpins (not that I am using it anyway). Using common engineering sense (if there is such a thing), if you have a fixed plane (or 4 wheels in this case) and you lift one corner, another corner (or two) will also lift.

Many years ago we had better results on the asphalt ovals with a car that would twist than was overly stiff. We could get the power down much quicker off the corners than the others. I'm just saying there is a fine line to all of this, if you want stiff, fill the frame rail connectors with Viagra! :cheers:
done it both ways, welded -"not viagra" lol, if you don`t think connectors-welded inthe floor are stronger than just tieing the rails together you are wrong! some is better than nothing, that`s for sure. but the more things that are tied together the stiffer she gets! common sense here guys. just look at the roll cage in a prostocker, they ain`t tieing everything together for the hell of it! agree w/ the original poster all the way on this!--bob
