Well I ran a tilted gm and it straightend out the monte bumper I had on it. Frame never wiggled, sold the car so it will be out on the track again soon to see how it will hold up.

If u have a lot of room to play in the front it can be strong but closer to a stock build they are ok at best

If pitched right they can be strong up front stock also.

If it makes you feel any better it was a 77 Monte Carlo, the frames scared me at first but after nosing a shocker and stuffed beaks on vicsI will be doing it in the same place from now on. 100% firm believer in this that you can compete now. I just gotta keep a decent yoke from snapping in my tranny, I'm 0-2 with a Mopar set up.....

If pitched right they can be strong up front stock also. I guess some places may allow pitching and still call it stock. Really enjoyed watching you guys at Spring Explosion. Good job.

so a 74 buick electra, tilt by cutting a pie slice out of the frame near the cross member or cutting the box section on the frame side or the stub side?

i had a 80s olds wagon tilted 9ins behind the firewall and its bending werid. its trying to fold the outside of the arch out towards the tire. but inside of the frame isnt moving at all. very hard. tryin to nose it so that a can retilt it. heard a retilted gm is harder than hell and outlawed in some places.

Pick a spot and let er buck. Wasnt right then try again on another. I've seen to many plated in one certain spot that it's was almost a no brainer to try and it was right on the money
