Do I need Subframe connectors
Hi I am putting a 8lb blower on my 89 stang. It currently has a performer intake, Blower Cam, full exhaust, and I will also prob be using a 50 Wet Shot of Nos.
I was wondering is it time for subframe connectors and what are the best ones to get. Thanks |

Re: Do I need Subframe connectors
Subframes are a good idea for even a stock mustang. There are several good companys that make them. Get a set that have the crossbrace for the seats.

Re: Do I need Subframe connectors
Definitly install subframe connectors and check for cracks behind the front seats on the floor boards. Keep putting the power to it and you might want to consider a roll bar too.

Most of the time its a melted piston or blown gasket that ruins your motor. Very rarely is it a split block or broken rod.

Stangs 79-04 all should of had subs welded on as soon as they leave the car lot imo.....full length is the way to go, I have some cheap tubular bolt on's that i had welded, work alright i guess the steeda full length's are nice since they have a torque box reinforcement.
