Pro-Touring...Frame connectors AND Torque boxes?

I had US Car tools frame connectors welded in, and couldn't be happier. For those of you who are very serious about handling; Will torque boxes make any difference after the connectors? I tend to think they will. At worst of course they're just extra weight, but I figure the factory could just as easily have installed frame connectors instead of torque boxes.  :scratchchin:

The car is in final welding, so it's now or never. Any opinions?

Torque converters are for construction equipment.

Frame connectors make a huge difference.

I think if your not getting a cage torque boxes will be a benefit. But i think once a roll bar is added with the frame connectors i think the torque boxes dont help as much.
