Turbo Scamp

hey could you explain to me exactly what a torque box is? well more like just where would they get put and how do they help out? im going with the BB 440 in my scamp, with so much power i wont know what to do with it all. i know ill need the frame connectors and some big tires so it will actually drive w/o a huge cloud of smoke and w/o needing new tires every week. any and all help appreciated.

thanks
