But I also wanted to clear up my comment......most of it was said with tongue in cheek. From a pure racing (road, oval, drag) and engineering perspective, the more rigid you can make the chassis, the more consitant your performance will be. The trick is setting up the suspension to work with your less forgiving chassis. I agree with welding the rail to the pan, I think you should even seam weld every joint that is currently spot welded.
It is all a matter of return of investment. You have to ask yourself what you really want, what you really need, and is it worth the time effort and cost to do it.
And the Viagra is only good for the sprint racers, it doesn't hold up for the enduros! ~lol~
