I had that debate last year with a graphite chassis, mostly they said not to, but if it's a used chassis to have at it :roll:

I would say it depends on the condition. If its beat to hell go for it. If its in good/great shape I wouldn't. They are much more rare than a regular graphite. Its also easy to restore these chassis to almost new due to the non woven graphite.

Got any pics?

its yours, do what you want and dont worry about what some people here think about it.

back in the day, if you had a tq10 chassis there is no doubt most of us would have drilled that thing out for a stealth...

if its a real beat chassis who cares, but if is nice no drill !!! i say never drill .. be happy with the lesser holes there are plenty of holy chassis out there... i usually always try to tell people stop the drilling but if you do please use the template.. i see alot of "off" stealth trannys when drilled... id be more for drilling a metal chassis but do what makes you happy ... im sure it will be a blast to drive any trans in it ...
