well i don't know how the units of force and area would convert, but in most cases of performance....there would be more area to the car than force on the car. like on a skid pad or launch from the hole. but when you start talking about brick walls and trees, more force would be applied to a smaller area thus creating much more stress. i think in terms of a car, there is more number crunching than that equation imposes. either way, holes in unibodies is not helping otherwise GM would have done it. and on third gens with metal lines on the sending unit, you need at least 6inches cut to the driverside to pull it out. no quick disconnects.
