I'm too poor. But if someone comes out with a more affordable option and I got it then I would likely order it raw and add a number of gussets at all major connection points and possibly some additional bracing to be on the safe side.

Nathan's build is the first road race use I've seen, if he could only stop messing with it and get it together we could get an opinion. But he's also added a cage that would remove any direct comparison info on structural rigidity.

While not a direct comparison here is a pic of a UMI tubular k member for a 93-97 Camaro, standard version and road race version. Quite a difference.
