I have read that sub frame connectors can help at the track due to helping keep the car from twisting. Thats all I know. Wish I could help out more.

from a physics point of view, the stiffer frame should help the rear bite harder and give you a lower 60' and should improve ET despite the increased weight

im kind of on a tight budget and I need to get the wires. How much of a difference will there be with full lengths?

Also I know this has been asked but accel or MSD? I have the MSD cap and rotor but if I dont have to spend the extra 10 then I rather put it towards something else. Also the accel are made to withstand the heat and supress arcing so I wouldnt have to buy the wrap also.

I looked at the braided ones and they are rated F ( up to 450 degrees) and I looked at part number ACC-8033 and they say they are good for up to 550.
