Sorry, Import says hydroformed steel or Aluminum chassis is better.

Steel tube is no good

I race with a good number of the Factory Five cars, mostly the Challenge cars, a few mk 4's and a Daytona Coupe (it's a local company here). These are all designed around Ford engines and drivetrain and are an economical way to build a reliable track car that can take a pounding. These cars race wheel to wheel in the Challenge series, so crashing is a fact of life. From all the accidents I've seen these cars hold up very well.

or perhapse all-encompassing in its performance attributes. My car feels "expansive" both when I drive it, and when I try to safely fit that thing in storage, lol

My pleasure. You figure out how my friends got over 700whp out of a stock S2K engine yet? Curious if you ever followed up with that/how they managed it? I stopped hanging out with that little click a few years ago, but was curious as to how that thing lived with that much boost and compression.

I've still not heard of anyone doing that for long on a stock engine. I know a few guys who got 700 ish with a thicker headgasket, but it usually didn't last long.
