Aren't you guys concerned about rippin those triangulated upper supports right out of your cars with the high HP forcast??

is it not....the uppers do all the pullin'.....the lowers just locate?

The load is somewhat spread out. I expressed the same concern to maddart. He is aware, hopefully he will reinforce the upper control arm attachment bar by his cage design and spread the force throughout the car. He really wants to keep the rear seat since its a family car and all. I have a friend with a stock suspension 5.0 mustang that runs low 8s with a procharger. He had the stock mounts and eventually it pulled the sheetmetal through the floor. One look at how flimsy the Fox body mustang floors were it blew me away that he had been racing that car for years without any reinforcement. A turbo is so much softer a hit than say... dropping the clutch on your 1000 HP Chevelle at 7600 rpm. That car has a stock crossmember in the frame and 2 bars coming from the cage (hoopbar) and it has yet to bend or crack anything. Its another 8 second car that 60's in the 1.20s on the rear tire. I have said it before and I will say it again. The setup that he has fabbed up looks like it will be strong enough. I would move the shock mount to the rear of the rearend housing and run it. It has a drag radial and its a turbo car, there will be a lot of restraint in how much boost that car will take.

It will take a lot of trial and error to get a 1000hp car to hook on drag radial and thats part of being a superhero.
