Quote: Boy, been on Moparts over ten years, and finally discover we should be picking our TB sizes based on possible spot weld failures. Who knew?
Some people get a little bummed when they just spent 50k on a freshly restored car and their front frame horn and inner fenders detach on a track day. Who knew?
We try to minimize failures as much as possible. We'd feel a bit liable if someone's car came apart because of a recommendation we made. Are you willing to be liable for it? Both of the cars we ran heavy TB's on began to see massive amounts of torsional loads shifted from the suspension to the body, and failures ensued. Not all of the cars out there are as well maintained as Mitch's car; and I would argue that my Road Runner is in about as good of shape as his Challenger. We didn't have any catastrophic failures, but sections of the frame horns started to come apart. I made the repairs needed and stepped down on the bars to our new production units.
