Default Here is a dumb question from the peanut gallery

1. Can someonepost a picor tell me exactly (kindergarden style) what is meant by welding torque boxes?

2. Logic says adding a cage will stiffen a chassis. How rigid (HP wise) would a 10 point cage added to a car with subframe connectors be?

As far as i know a 10 point is a pretty stiff street/strip setup very rigid my former auto teacher had a 10 point in his 8.90's fox never had a problem with the chassis flexing
