just a few observations from past experience here. first, the extra $200 for a wolfe will most likely mean that your cage will fit CORRECTLY and there wont be any kind of hassles which are usually associated with the lesser known kits. also, dual swingouts isn't NHRA legal, and may get you kicked off the track even with a cage.

i talked to wolfe this week and asked them about the same thing, here is their response

i was thinking about a few years ago when i had the 6pt in my Z28, David told me that the swingouts weren't legal...that was then though. i think the custom 10pt i have now should suffice.
