Chassis flex *PICS*
For you guys that rant and say these cars don't require frame connectors and that they don't do much when everyone asks about them. I always disagree with you, and here's why.
Look at the hood/fender gap on the drivers side in these two pics.
This car has welded in frame connectors, Wolfe bolt in 4 point roll bar and a tower brace.

I only got a couple of events with ALL of the above mods but I'm already out-driving the stock diff (not like that's hard) but even riding in a C5Z I was amazed.

Probably a lot. It would be hard to say since the course always changes, but I bet the V710s alone got him 1-3 seconds depending on how large the course is. The best thing I did handling wise with my car was change to higher spring rate springs than stock. The stock springs are terrible. Now my car is going in a radical direction for the upcoming season.

A six point weld in bar might make a huge difference, but of course make it a PITA to get in and out of. I was into and around a lot of 5.0's back in the day, which are pretty loosey goosey themselves. A buddy of mine had a 600hp (stoker, blown) car with a 6 point and connectors - it was the tightest feeling 5.0 I have been in. Not sure what else can be done really. I don't think that bolt in 4 point is doing much for you flex wise.
Thanks for posting those pics BTW. Interesting.

But compared to a basically stock setup, this car is completely different. I'd be interested to drive an Fbody with higher spring rates to compare. But my stock auburn diff is hating life and bitches around RH turns.
