T-top concerns

I've been doing some searching and I'm coming up with a lot of mixed results. If I swap a 300hp/350ftlbs 350 into my T-top Trans Am will I flex the car?

If I add subframe connectors will I be alright?

Sorry if this seems like a silly questions or if it has been asked a lot, its my first car and I'd rather not ruin it.

Re: T-top concerns

All third gens should have SFC installed. If you don't mind giving up the use of the back seat, a simple 6 point roll bar will also help these cars. Swing out door bars make getting in and out much easier too.

My car still has T-tops. Within the first week that I bought it, I installed some SFC. The car now has a full cage but over the years, I've never had a problem with the T-tops.
