Duane, I was not referring to engine components; I was referring to chassis components.

Many of the newer cars have stamped front crossmembers/cradles and lower control arms that are weak. The wheelstands will even weaken them more and if you notch them for big pans, they require lots of additional material to reinforce them.

It was a war for a Super Stock racer to get NHRA to approve the allowance of aftermarket bump steer kits for safety reasons and it was not until he showed a Tech Division director a car that was at the verge to have a failure that the tech department changed their mind.
