I toured the SST shop and watched their mods and inspection process. Great people and great design. Highly recommend. But upgrade their baseline clutch and PP. Love it "bigly".

Do you have a cutout to run the side exhaust?

On my first 65 Vette I added an electric fuel pump to solve high rpm fuel starvation. I added a circuit breaker to it's electrics. Unfortunately I installed the ckt breaker on the parking brake mount. I then thought, cool, theft prevention. Theft not a problem when you live as far northwest as you can go but when I moved to Las Vegas and the thief couldn't start the car and an open circuit breaker was staring him in the face it didn't take long to figure it out.

Did the same with the fuel pump on my 72 Porsche 911 but this time I hid the switch to turn the pump off.
