S&W makes a kit to convert a 6pt into a 10pt, which I believe is good to 8.50 (forget the mph). My friend has that conversion in his Vette and IMO I would not run it on a street car. His helmet rests on the bar when he sits in it, so clearance sucks. What I am going to do is put the 6pt I have in there now and get someone to do the 10pt conversion custom, so that I have the most head clearance from the halo possible. And just a tip when you are looking into it, the bar that goes across attaching to the 2 a-pillar bars behind the dash isnt required until 7.50, so you dont need that...

Not to be taken as me being a pain, but from what I read so far, converting a 6pt bar to cage with halo is much more work than buying a 10 pt cage new. So think that over before ruining the resale on your bar.
A 6 pt is good to what, bottom 9s no?
