How much can these early frames handle in terms of weight and/or hp/torque before they require modification? Anyone have any experiences with this?

No frames on any F-body. Subframe connectors are ALWAYS a good idea, especially as cheap as you can buy 'em.

I'd say with a roll bar/cage, subframe connectors and the right chassis tweaking they can handle a good amount of ponies (well upwards of 1000 or more). Just remember the more power you put down the more attention you'll want to direct on the little things to keep the car running right.

nah all i was thinking was a stock ls1 motor and t56, i'm looking for a nice sunday driver, maybe i'll increase the rear end size a little but i'm not looking to win races around here. too much traffic anyway, i'd hardly get the chance to enjoy it.
