    BTW, GET SOME SUB-FRAME CONNECTORS BEFORE YOU GET A GOOD LAUNCH AND TWIST YOUR CAR!!!
    Agreed on sfcs. My ws6 was very strong for what it was and hurt alot of feelings. But it was nothing compared to the formula I had previously. You have plenty of time to mod and get more comfortable with the car. The fastest car in the world is slow with someone unfamiliar with it behind the wheel.

    Full exhaust and my best was a 8.89 @ 84 with a 2.23 60ft uncorrected. Its a slow track around here. With a horrible launch i ran a 8.9 at another track. Find out the density altitude and use a convertor to get a sea level (corrected) et.

    It will still dimple the quarter panels. Don't dump the clutch roll it out on your launch.

    Hmmm you know, I did just notice yesterday that there's a tiny dent in my rear passenger quarter panel right at the wheel well I thought some asshole door dinged me somewhere. That's probably from my race with the GTO yesterday, huh? Shit...

    Most of us have fuked up just about everything up that can be on these cars. We're trying to teach you from our mistakes. When we tell ya something, we're trying to help you and save you time and money. If your quarters are dippling, your T tops will be leaking very soon.

    Soooo, bolt-on or weld-in? Guess I'll be getting some SFCs sooner than I had planned. Looking at UMI's 3-pt. SFCs. Where's the best place to get a deal? Summit has them for $380 steel and $480 chromoly.

    Edit: Also, what's the best way to get that dimple out?

    The triangulated are the way to go. Weld in. Bolt in will eventually be weld in as well lol

    Heat and ice might get it. Be careful not to burn the paint though. Otherwise sand, bodywork, and repaint.

    Everybody is about the same, look for a deal on the shipping. Thats where you can save money. 3 point weld in FTW. Bolt-in will loosen up over time, the bolt holes will stretch, elongate and be useless until you end up weld them in.
