70 Dart with Subframe connectors
I expect the results to be all over the placeIn for results
Net or gross H.P.?
Since the factory decided they were necessary on stock 340s and 383s, and all convertibles; I'm in at 350. They reinforce different areas/perform different tasks than subframe connectors, so that point is moot. Heck, even the factory Hemi Darts & Barracudas had torque boxes and no subframe connectors- not to say they're not necessary, because they are. Just something to consider.

If you're running a road course or slaloms, put 'em in even if you've got a 5 hp Briggs under the hood.Hot street, road course

Didn't a company in Canada actually plate test the A-body (or E-body) chassis and found there was no benefit?
I swear I read that somewhere

Weren't torque boxes used to tie the rockers to the front and rear frame rails to help stiffen the unibody.
If subframe connectors are inplace wouldn't that do about the same thing?
Might still gain some rotational resistance by trying to twist the windshield and quarter pillers.
Theres really no reason NOT to use them, regardless of hp
