I totaled both RMS and XV Level II setups
I wanted for my application:

RMS:
ARC4000L LevelPro compressor system w/ aluminum tank $2,070.00
ABAR20700 Mopar 68-70 B Body & 70-74 E Body rear AirBar w/ dual adjustable Shockwave $2,265.00
AIRBAR Air Ride Shockwave double adjustable $798.00
16160 Tubular K-Member Conversion B and E-Body Power Steering $3,595.00
16160 complete 1.125" sway bar $249.00
WIL-140-7018 Superlite 6 Piston 13" Big Brake Front Kit $1,250.00
total= $10,227.00

XV Level II:
20-1201 XV E-Body Level II Suspension - Front $7,495.00
20-1221 XV E-Body Level II Suspension - Rear $3,395.00
25-1201 XV E-Body Level II Brakes - Front $2,895.00
total= $13,785.00

when I add up the parts total of the XV Level II it is roughly $3,558.00 more for my application

but what is not included is the amount for the extra welding of the XV Level II
I would guess it would cost maybe $1000 for the proper welding procedure?
if so it would only cost roughly $5000.00 more to have the XV Level II installed for my application

bottom line is cost
if there is any way to lower that extra $5000 difference to be more cost effective with the RMS setup,
then I would choose the XV Level II in a heartbeat




Sort of apples to oranges comparison. One has air bags and one doesn't. Why do you need air bags? They are not going to make you go faster.

Do you need the very last bit of refinement that the XV Level II? A XV level I kit is very capable too and would and has done fine on the track. Rare T/A took his car out to Pocono with some or all of Level I stuff.

An Alterkion with QA1 shocks and good brakes is very capable of track days too. And if you need a steering box rebuild and/or conversion motor mounts the Alterkion comes with new item to cover those needs automatically.

...I just went to your website and saw your build sheet for this car. They can't print money fast enough for all that stuff, so what's $5000 to get the very most handling out of it. You're planning on a dry sumped, EFI, aluminum Indy block 572 motor....

Get something wider than 235's for a car that's built to this level of capability. Like 275's. Also think about investing in a six point cage. They really tie everything together beyond frame connectors and even the XV stiffening. Especially on a car with a motor as capable at that.

I'd also suggest going out to a track day in your area that has some older cars and get a feel for things and ideas.
