Re: Cab torque

There is no conclusive numbers as for that amount. What is known is that the vert frame (body) does have quite a bit of flex. Even with stock engines. It's more of a handling issue than a hp one. Unless you plan to get the fron twheels off the ground!

What's done quite frequently (even on stock rides) is the addition of subframe connectors and a strut tower brace.

Let's see if anyone has experience with large amounts of hp (400+) in their vert and how they dealt with it.
