Say I'm right: Any of these choices will meet or exceed your performance goals. Then it makes sense to pay some attention to secondary features such as how the Lateral Dynamics crossmembers and pre-welded rear end housing will greatly simplify your installation. They could have easily tossed a puzzle of tubing and tabs in a box and cut the price. Instead, the company went the extra mile to make sure that you don't unnecessarily waste any brain cells during the installation process. And brain cells are hard to come by or replace. So the crossmember design is worth it's weight in gold. Which, in turn, bolsters the product's "bang for the buck" quotient.
Having purchased--quite literally--one of the world's first aftermarket subframes 8 years ago and then spending about one million dollars "fixing" it, I assure you that these secondary considerations are important. They are way more important that "1.00g vs .89g.

Steve:
Your comments are well taken and I really appreciate everyones response regarding this.
Based on the answers, I know I'm in the right place for good information. I plan ti build only one more 69 Camaro, and I would like to do it as a pefect car for me, my use and driving skill. I do intend on spending a fair amount of money really learning to drive effectively so all these great items can be appreciated.
It's just that at this point it is so important what you put under everything as a foundation and i really want to start on the right foot.
I had hired someone to build this part of my project, but I'm not sure this will happen. I'm trying to take advantage of this delay to better inform myself, thus hopefully building a better car.
God I loved my last 69 and I just sold my harley. I'm ready to start this project soon hopefully ding it right the first hand. (I have several other car I want to go through after this one is finished.
My '33 Ford 5 Window should be up and going in the next few months, then the 69 Camaro, Then redue a pristine '65 Riviera that would make a perfect Stock example of it's type. (Blk on Blk, with a 425 Nailhead) Its really fun to take out but it needs some TLC which will come when I get my, "Track", '69 Camaro rolling.
I really want to put a lot of seat time in it.
Anymore thoughts are always welcome and appreciated.
Thanks again,
