The only citrus I would consider planting outside on the 7b / 8a line would be Arctic Frost (Satsuma hybrid), Orange Frost (Satsuma Hybrid) and Miho Satsuma (in that order, which is also worst to best tasting), even then expect to need active freeze protection when temperatures drop below about 18 degrees F. Active freeze protection includes covering tree and using heat lamps / incandescent Christmas lights to maintain safe temperatures. Kumquat trees may survive in your climate, but will likely fruit too late in the season (Feb / March) for you to get any fruit unless you actively freeze protect maintaining temperatures around the tree over 25F. Miho is an early fruiting Satsuma, typically early October about 3 weeks ahead of Owari, I am not sure about the "frost" hybrids.
