Actually I didnt get much of a diffrence either...the bigest change I felt was when I installed my STB..that was immedieate

Second biggest diffrence I felt was when I lowered my car.....together they work very well..

I jwould have ito think that inorder to realy feel the difernce after instaling SFC you'd have to be really putting down some torque

A hard top might not experience as much body flex as a t-top or vert and depending on the design of the SFC as well, plus you might not drive the car hard enough to notice the difference.

I don't have them for my LS1 yet, but my Mustang felt 100x better going over bumps after SFC's. The car felt much more controlled and stable.

I did'nt notice **** on the drag strip, but in the cornering it does feel more rigid. I have T tops also.

I'm not sure you should notice a difference at the drag strip. Its a 1/4 mile straight shot there. Body twist doesnt really hurt your 1/4 mile time as its all about traction. But it will cause stress fracs at the quarter panels after time. Have you ever seen a dragster flex? Man they'd pretzel out of not for the front end... but anyway the corners and bumps are were the difference should be felt....

I have a T-top car. I went with BMR boxed weld ins. I didn't notice too much at first. Cornering is a little better. Drag strip is an improvement because power is put to the wheels instead of the body flexing. The biggest thing I noticed was going over RR tracks, and on the bumpy *** roads in this town.
