What you are asking is correct. It will work fine. Normally though a chassis person will recommend torque box replacement rather than reinforcements. The guy above with the torn torque boxes seem peculiar, that usually only happens in basically stock cars with rotted boxes. I have ran 10's for years with NO issues with torque boxes. The biggest deal is really keeping an eye on your body/chassis in between passes which you should be doing anyways. But your set-up will work fine.

 

i did some welding on the seams for my toque boxes and i also installed the battle box kit and then tied the kit into my roll cage

 

holy hell

 

Ouch, one nasty picture, And personally i would throw a weld down on the seems also, and then some........

 

after seeing that pic i think im gonna put about 150 lbs of weld all over the bottom side of my car

 

i bet that was caused by the car wheel hopping!!!

 

did you run the tubes to the upper or lower plates? do you have pics that show it

 

both upper and lower
here is the upper



i dont have a picture of the lowers i ran a short tube from the plate that mounts inside the car to the main hoop......not to hard to visualize. the plate im talking about sits under the rear seat or in my case, where the rear seat used to be

 

nice, id say your about ready for any launch

 

too much weld can actually make the weld weaker btw...
