cage question

Re: cage question
An 8-point is usually only a roll bar. The S+W kit is that way..... main hoop (2 pts) + diagonal braces from main hoop to floor (2 pts) + rear braces (2 pts) + diagonal braces to the front ( 2 pts). They sell a 10-point cage with the halo, plus the front supports from the halo to the floor (2 pts).
8-point bar:
10-point cage:
I believe you could modify the front supports to miss the dash, putting the cross-bar across the outside of the dash. But they will make access to the front of the car even more difficult and look fairly obtrusive, compared to front supports that hug the A-pillars, go through the corners of the dash cover and puts the cross-bar inside the dash.

How fast do you plan on making your car? A full 10pt roll cage legal from 9.99 to 8.50 seconds in the 1/4 mile. NHRA requires a full roll cage if you plan on running faster than 9.99 sec in the 1/4 mile or if you exceed 135mph at any E.T.

i dont mind if it has to go thru the dash as long as the dash doesnt get completely destroyed or interferes with foot room for the pedals

If you go to the following site you will see a car with a 12 point cage. It's a 10 point with two additional bars going to the front of the car.

Any way, it shows how the front down bars of the 10 point cage are on the outside of the dash. It's how I'm going to try and do it.
The reason for the 10 point is that the structural strength of the roof bars and the front down bars will prevent the roof from collapsing on you if you get upsided down. At any speed!
Better safe than sorry!
