THAT IS NOT TRUE YOU DO NOT HAVE TO TIG MOLY YOU CAN MIG IT. IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME JUST ASK SOMEONE IN THE WELDING INDUSTRY. IF THEY ARE EXPERIENCED THEY WILL TELL YOU SO
CNDRACER,you are right.NHRA just won't allow it.And CM is not all that much lighter.No doubt that it is,but it doesn't weigh 1/3 of MS.like some people tend to think.Steel is steel and it weighs what steel weighs...peroid.Now,CM is stronger and lets you run a thinner wall thickness,that is where the weight savings comes in,less steel.MS tubing is what 0.130,and CM is 0.080 (???could be wrong) a difference of 0.050 wall thickness.That reduces the weight BY about a third,not down TO a third
