Hey,

I'm a new member. I have been a car enthusiast for many years but just recently started taking a serious interest in classics. Currently I have a 1978 trans am being restored. The original engine has 220hp/ 320 torque. This engine has been slightly modified and produces 375 hp/ 475 torque.

So my question is, would the increased power warp the chassis?

If so, what would be an economic fix that would not effect the originality of the car. I know, I already messed it up with the engine.

Thanks
