Is boxing a g body frame worth it? I am putting in a 5.3 and 4l60e. Planning around 400 hp to flywheel. Rear gears I haven't decided on yet. It has a grand national 8.5 open 3.42 now. I am planning on bringing to track about 5 times a year.

It makes a bigger difference than i had thought. My buddy's regal is boxed with full bracing. Mine is not boxed, and has no bracing. During a simple tire change, i can jack up one corner pretty high and the other 3 wheels stay put. In his car, jacking up one corner often lifts 3 wheels off the ground. Since sway bars and body braces do nothing for "twist" in the middle of the body, i would think this is a direct result of boxing the frame.
If you looked at a bare frame you know it needs help.
one other thing, you'll have the change the location of the fuel and brake lines when boxing the c channels. I replace all my lines at the same time and used cunifer for the brake lines . I used clamps like these to secure the lines.
I also used stainless cushion clamps to hold my braided fuel lines and also on my 1/0 battery cable running to the front of the car.
