testing showed it required 10000 ft lbs of torque to make the chassis twist 1 degree!

It would have been nice to see more of what they did to fix the suspension. With fixed mount points from the factory, they had to do a lot of engineering to sort out how they're going to make the suspension adjustable. I'd pay for some of those parts for sure.

I've already been wondering what it would take to modify the front pickup points on the 350 to use the camber cams from the 250 AWD to get some negative camber in the front end. If I don't, I'm sure I'll be cooking the outer treadblocks with the factory alignment.
