Frame strength

I haven't been able to find anything on here regarding frame strength. I've got the bare frame laying here and it seems fairly easy to twist. I was wondering if anyone did anything to stiffen them up? Things like welding the crossmembers in or boxing them? I will be doing a full cage so maybe I'm just being paranoid? I am looking to put around 1000 horsepower through it eventually. Any advice would be appreciated.
