I raced the car from the beginnning, the BMI chassis allowed all my engines (mods to work very well) vibration was all most eliminated C/G is lower, the car is much easier to maintain, seros and over maintance it a breeze without the upper deck, plus all the cars weight except the engine weight is concentrated below od counterweighted below the driveshaft, not like the stock style chassis, the GEN 2 or now the new Signture series chassis has all the extra bugs worked out, all engines and clutch combos work with out fabriction all screw holes are dead on the money toloerances were tightened up, the fuel tank was moved for forward and over to the center of the car more, it weighs 100 grams lighter so weight can be placed where it is really needed, and the chassis has a much better poolished finish. car stays in tweak no longer do you have to chase setups all day long. Car stays setup opnce you get it where you want it. Setups are'nt that much different than stock, and car has better responce and lap times. Ask 100 people about it you'll get 100 diffferent answers most are good, but you also get the so called racers that nothing pleases, so its kind of a chance I guess. I think its the best hop up I have ever purchased for the car, and I have them all, I mean all of them! pricey but well worth it, well... At least for us. The GH chassis is also pretty good but not in the came class with the BMI. Hope this helps. Bob
