i want to get the car stiffer for the new motor

plan so far is 8pt cage and full length sfcs

is that all im going to need? would the cage take place of strut/shock tower braces, or should i add those too? i dont want to spend the money on them, and the strut tower would have to be custom made...so im trying to see if i would be alright without the two..im only going to be making 600ish ft-lbs at the wheels on spray, give or take 25....so i dont think i need anything more extensive than what im running, but with how clean of a chassis i have right now, if i mess it up im not gonna find another roller in ohio as good as what i got...flex = bad

"8 point roll bars manufactured from 1-3/4'' x .134-wall mild steel tubing "
