Anybody got experience with subframe connectors? Do they really tighten the chassis? XL or regular? And do they help with drag racing and weight transfer on take off a lot?

Thanx ahead of time!

IMHO, you wont ever need this on the street. And racing you are going to need it maybe over 400hp.

you can blame those lovely shift misses on chassis flex. They will definitely help with going through turns. The downside is you have to weld them in, and you can't run certain exhaust setups with them (i.e. side-exit)

You should consider the CHE K member brace and torque limiters for your shift  misses.

I'm not saying I miss my shifts, I'm just saying things such as chassis flex contribute to them.

The new Mustangs have no need for subframe connectors unless you are putting down some serious torque and hp numbers.
