Harness on stock seat?
I tried using harnesses with the stock Camaro seats. It just didn't feel safe to me at all. I hated how it felt, like it was about to slide off my shoulders. I just went ahead and bought a Kirkey pro street seat to swap out and go racing with. It only takes only four nuts to remove to swap the seat. I just bolted it in last night and it's pretty comfortable. I'm gonna take it for a long drive after work today and if it feels OK I'll get a matching one for the passenger side and just leave them in there.
Are they really comfortable? How is the incline? I'm almost 6'2", just over 300 lbs, I like my seat to recline a little. Basically where I set my seat now is all the way back and down (power seat), and reclined against my Wolf 6 pt.
If my fat *** could lay off the cheeseburgers I'd be running 8's and ****! Oh well, its easier to lighten a car than to lose weight.

I'm wrestling with the same issue now. I'm 6'3, 265lbs (-20lbs from last season .. yay me) 38" waist
Anyhow ... I love my stock seats, but with the rollbar and harness going in, I think I'm going to have to give them up.
I need something that is going to accomodate my wide uh ... "frame" and be comfy enough to do the 3-8hour cruise thing.

Yup on camaro seats. When I put the 5point harness in my car for the 1st time, and setting the sholder straps was like WTF this isn't gona work. I just went thu pulling some gears and the sholder straps fell right down over my arms. 
So I just used the seatbelt, at the shootout. I thought it was safter, but going somthing about it for this year, probally a Kirby pro 15-16inch

I still run a stock seat in my car, but they have been modified to accept the harness, i drive the car on the street alot and enjoy the comfort of the stock seats, i will probably switch to an aftermarket kirkey seat sometime this year just for peace of mind....
Want to do my seats like this, will it pass NHRA tech? Will the stock seat without the holes pass NHRA tech even though the belts want to slip down?
check this out.... this looks bad *** i will be ordering these sooooon
