Both belt types will result in whiplash. Probably one of the more common reported injuries that I see along with air bag burns.

I know this is not srs but does he plan on wearing a helmet, hans, and harness every time he drives the car? In the sport of drag racing, I'm just not sold on the need for a hans at this power level...

This is true and anything can happen but my thought would be this is less likely to occur. Anything is possible, but I would think lower probability. I guess its up to you how safe you want to be.

You still have plenty of exposure to the main hoop and the downward rear bars. There is no way I would ride in the back on the street. Hit a big enough bump and you'll have a goose egg for a hat.

Either your face hits the steering wheel or side window or your head tries to go there and paralyzes you instead. Both are good choices.

My seats are in front of the hoop.

The bar/cage attaches to the strongest points in the car, like the front subframe and torque boxes, and creates a safety capsule to a point. Many new cars are...
