Some people run less bars, but when you are running that fast I think safety and strength are more important than 15 pounds.

not running some of those extra bars isn't necessarily because of weight...its because of extra work in notching floorpans. For a unibody car with the inner bars welded to the floorpan, you don't need the triangulation or x under the car

here's a pic I took a while back during construction. We still hadn't added the tranny x-member or replaced the sections we cut from the frame...
