Chassis rigidity... do I need to upgrade my 6pt? I think I am having some chassis flexing issues... Maybe I am just paranoid but I swear this thing is growing. I have a convertible with a lot of weight reduction and a chromoly 6pt.

What kind of 60's do you cut?
Power you make?
Weight of the car?
SFC's installed? If not get some, I'm willing to bet you will be fine with just a 6pt and SFC's but if you don't mind putting in a cage, I vote for more bars. More safety equipment never hurts anything!

what converter are u using?
how many hard passes did you have on the car b4 you added the sfc's and the bar?
That's scarry for a stock internal LT1. Of course, the convertible doens't help either.

that pic looks strait on in the top/front of the tunnel? wtf? but them agian Ive never looked at how that spot should look, it might be over a little for a exhust on that side? The stock catback dose do that bend toawrds the side of the car before it starts to go up at all? I dont have SFC on my car, it was getting 1.5s with a bolt in wolfe 6point with onlt 2 bolts on the door bars, and no under plates 
I don't have any pics of that spot on my car?
