Hey Rob,

FRAMES

I wanted to ask you about boxing frames and adding X-braces. I understand we want these frames stiff to handle the HP and let the suspension work better.

Is it needed to box in the whole frame or just some key areas? I have 3/16" x6" steel plate to box in the frame and a 20' stick of that stuff weighs 76 lbs. I remember my auto shop teacher saying that it takes 10 HP to move 100 lbs. At what point is boxing the frame and adding X-braces slowing us down?

Thanks
