Default Fix my floor pan or get a new body

So I got a 96 camaro z28 that I got in a trade and decided to build it up the body and interior is in really good shape so I did not think much about the floor I stuck my hand under it when I got it apparently I did not put it in the right place when I put it on the lift yesterday to start pulling the engine i seen a rust hole about fist size in the rear pasenger area so now I'm woried if I get it repaired it won't be as structurally sound as it used to be I am wanting to put down between 600 and 700 horsepower so structural integrity is going to be important should I repair the floor and will it be ok or should I search for a new body guess I learnd a lesson just becose its body is nice dose not mean the floor will be

If you going to be dumping enough money to make 600-700 hp with all the supporting mods a new roller is a no brainer vs trying to fix the cancer. I've been fighting the same rust in the same spot for a year and there really isn't any solution since no one makes replacement floors yet. Pics of the damage would help get other replies though I'm sure.
