I decided to have the shop install Hotchkis subframe connectors before I take delivery of my car. After they finish the work, the cars going on the dyno for a quick remap of the Holley Sniper (because I'm changing over to progressive linkage). Everything should be ready to go by Friday. Once the clutch is bedded properly (after a few hundred miles of normal driving), I'll take the car back to the shop for some full throttle runs and another fuel remap if needed.

Awesome progress. So it looks like they didn't put back the loop for the upper part of the crossmember, would there be any possible strength/rigidity issues associated with that? Subframe connectors are a great idea but not sure how much they'd help that area specifically? Just curious, asking because I plan to do this same upgrade eventually and I'll most likely be doing all the work myself.
