Larry, I spoke to one of my customers who races a similar Camaro running 9.0's .
He said to save the money on the tube crossmember ,was'nt worth the investment for the small weight reduction.
Also it created an interference problem with his Lemmons headers. Not major ,but still needed modification to 2 tubes.
Like Bill said put on the aftermarket brakes.
Sometimes building a little more HP is more economical than safely reducing weight on a unibody car.
