Well as some of you may know I did the v6 v8 swap and most of the original suspension is still on the car. It actually does ride very smooth with those v6 springs, but I've heard people talking about "boxing" the car frame so it doesn't flex on take offs. I'm guessing that my engine doesn't put out a whole lot o power at the moment. After some rides with friend's in their cars and knowing their numbers I've got a rough estimate that I'm putting out 300-350 hp and torque. I plan to do more in the future, but I'd rather stiffen up the frame now so I'm not paying for it later. What do I have to do to actually "Box" a frame in. I'm a pretty good welder so welding frame connectors(if that's what I have to do) in isn't a big deal, I was just curious if there is anything else involved.
Also, I know that you truly don't know the best rpm to set a limiter at until you run your car through a dyno, but I won't be doing that for a while, and I'll be buying a good rpm limiter probably before I run the dyno. What's a good rpm limiter to invest in and what's a reasonable rpm to set the limiter to before dynoing?
