Question Can A Convert Handle Hp?

Okay i was planning on buying a 1990 iroc convert and do a ls1/t56 swap, my question is if i put a 8point roll cage and sub frame connectors would it stiffen up the convertible enough for performance? i just like how the third gen converts look

i was looking at fbodymotorsports and they charge about 750 bucks for the swap minus parts, you just need to supply them with all the parts.
