Default frame connector and torque box question

I have a 92 LX 5 speed that I just converted from a I-4 to V-8. I'm planning on going with a TrickFlow H/C/I and exhaust(not sure yet on what brand). Will frame connectors be enough? Should I brace the torque box also? I know i'm not going to make a great deal of H.P., I've just heard that our fox bodies tend to flex a bit! Any info. would be much appreciated. Thanks -Dave

How much HP does the V-8 have? If it is fairly low, then there isn't much need for subframe connectors or a torque box beef up. However if your pushing like 500 to the ground then that's another story.

anything is better than stock

torque boxes will help eliminate wheel hop

frame connectors make a night and day difference.
