i nenver had a problem passing tech, and my seat is not bolted to the cage. The seat is resting on the cage so maybe that helps.

I have question, does the parachute release handle have to be on the cage above your head? Can i use my parking brake for the release?

Just ditch the parking brake handle and use a light lever where the parking brake goes. The lever with the wolfe chute kit worked great in the console, thats what I had in my old car..

And Bob you were asking about the tune on the car being done a while back, I fooled with it a bit the other day and on 275/60 radials it went 5.80 @ 121, still has a little more left in it.
