Default Subframe Connectors and ET's

I know the benefits so don't start off with saying that stuff. Has anyone logged their times before and after just adding sf connectors? Just a random thought that came to mind.

I'm sure it makes little difference at the end but I'm sure it affects the rt and 60 foot times some.

On a really high powered car that is twisting the chassis a lot, you might notice a little 60 foot improvement. Reaction time can be tweeked when staging the car, yes a stiffer car reacts faster, but sub frames are not going to suddenly make your car react noticably faster.

Exactly, I was just curious if anyone had recorded the improvement at all.

Lol, thats pretty bad. I know my 89 4 cyl back in the day flexed pretty bad but my 83 doesn't seem to do it too bad. But then again the tires let go before it really got to tweak on the body. Bald dry rotted tires can't catch traction.
