I see no other benefits then just a stiffer chassis , what would subframe connectors do for me in a straight line , I dont have swaybars , so taking corners just not my thing
From the way I gather it, some of your engine's power doesn't make it to the wheels as it's absorbed through chassis flex. Subframe connectors will prevent a lot of that power from being lost to flex.I see no other benefits then just a stiffer chassis , what would subframe connectors do for me in a straight line , I dont have swaybars , so taking corners just not my thing

If your wallet has a grand total of $200.00, I'd suggest you put it in the bank - savings account.
Not sure im losing that much power through chassis flex , if I had to guess , I would Dyno around 240hp if that , and still a little soft in the low rpms , maybe LCA may work better , I would think they would go above Subs on the mod list as far as drag racing goes

My two cents, go with the plenum T.B. combo. Your chassis should be fine unless you are making tremendous amount of horsepower. But, any basic mod would benifit ya! Do you know a good welder? I don't so thats why I would go with the fore-mentioned. I am putting most of my mods in the engine before I get to the suspension and then the exhaust, the engine is going to be the most expensive mods your going to do provided that your car holds together!

Thats 200 to play with , jack ass
My answer remains the same. People who ask these types of questions typically do not have a dime saved for a rainy day.
Are you a homeowner? Doubtful. You're probably living paycheck to paycheck in an apartment. That's if your not still living with M&D.
I do have another option - pay down your debt, if you have any.
So you can piss, bitch, moan and call me names all you want, we both know I'm spot on. Figuring you out is like shooting fish in a barrel. View attachment 242261
T/B made by Ford Racing cant be all that bad , but the Granatell plenum is a ?mark , I looked on a few other sites and it seems people with either that T/B or Plenum had nothing bad to say , so only one way to find out , Im not sure but I may go with the T/B-P combo !
WOW YOU NEED LIGHTEN UP , I was being playfull with my name calling , you know , sense of humor
I have $200$ to play with this week because I was ill , and did not get to go the the strip club over the weekend
And I have a very nice house , and more then one Toy , so I cant spend all my cash on my Stang , I have to spread it around

Man some one needs to go to a strip club, its all good. Just words, I've been call a lot worst than Jack ass, probaly someone will do it tommorow, and even if he lives with mom and dad theres no room to be judgemental in my opinion for anybody in this world, not even judges!
Yea go for the T/B and Plenum, it wouldn't hurt from experience. Theres a chance you could break somthing changing the pulleys, its not as easy as the DIY you tube adds, someone actually broke the spokes on there crankshaft pulley for 5 hp and its gonna slow down your cooling system!

Subframes is another one of those mods that most people dont do until they have done almost all of the bolt ons they *want* to do first. Wanna know how bad the chassis flex is? Put your car on a lift and open the door, you will know body flex. They will help keep your car straight after all those drag strip runs, make the car feel better, and maybe even help with your "straight line" traction. Some folks even say the interior quiets up a little afterwards by eliminating squeeks and rattles.
Bottom line, there are plenty of people out there with the plenum/TB, pulleys, etc and say "yea, I felt a little difference but nothing major". I have yet to hear of one person regret or complain about good, welded subframes.

Another vote for sub-frames. You'll notice the difference immediately and be really glad down the line. Sub-frames help keep the squeaks and rattles down as the car gets more miles on it. The first time you go over a speed bump you'll be glad you have them.
