youre right that modification is required to clear the rack, but fortunately GTO does that for you as part of the kit. I have it, and it is REALLY nice and well sorted out. I'd rather pay the 10 or so dollars for cutting and grinding disks to remove the necessary material from the LIM and reweld it (if you have a welder and know how to use it) or pay a welder to do it than mess with bumpsteer and what not. furthermore (and i know that this is not much of a reality since most people would never do it) it allows you to put the stock motor back in since it doesn't change the subframe at all in case you ever wanted to put your 20B in something else or sell the car down the road and keep the motor.
anyway, do whatever you think is best, based on reSEARCH.
good luck

all of the subframe solutions that i researched (which i must confess is limited to hinson and pettit) require a core subframe, which unless you have an extra, means that you cannot, without substantial fabrication, reinstall the original motor.

I used a pettit and it works ok, you have to send in spindles to get modified, Grind down the brass steering mount (where the steering bolts to the subframe) for the oil pan to clear, and make 1/2" spacers for the steering mounts. The engine sits higher and further out than Autotechs and disrupts the near perfect balance of the car. Id say from experience go with autotechs. I believe they have to modify the intake, but you maintain near 50/50 balance.
