THe more mileage on the car, the "looser" the frames could be.. I was just curious as to whether or not it would make a difference..

Dude, your frame doesn't rattle loose with age. That's a Ford problem only.
SFC's are for if you wanna race and need the extra ridgidity.

For the record, I was being sarcastic because as I was reading your post I had a mental picture of my frame falling right out from under the car. Didn't mean to rag on you, it just hit me funny. 
SFC's are unneccessary unless you have a lot of power and traction. The 4th gens chassis are pretty decent at near stock power levels.

Yeh, the sarcasm was obvious.. I didn't feel ragged on.. 
I wish I hadn't sold my SFC's.. I had a set of BMR tubular weld-in's..
I guess I'll have to pick up another set.. I am planning on going heads/cam in the next 3 or 4 months..
