Re: drop member and drag racing

I know Porter build some good stuff, but I have a couple questions...

Is there really any added benifit over a modified stock x-member?

For instance, I think I made my adjustable lower control arm mounts prior to the cross member being available. So is there an advantage to porters over what I did?

I know the exhaust can pass through, but I can easily cut mine a little bigger with my plasma and clean it up with a flapper wheel, so is there an advantage to his unit there?

The next I'd point out is weight. His piece is definately built well and looks heavier than the factory piece. Is that the case? I guess in racing that would be a down fall..

Now I'm not trying to knock his piece at all.. So please don't take it that way. I'm just wondering if it would have any added benifits for someone in my position who has already modified there OE piece.
