I kinda thought the same thing when I installed mine and ran the power wire up to where the alt power wire split off to the batteries but it was up front, batteries in the back. I must have had some voltage issues or something as I ended up switching it and running it to the battery in the back. I think part of it is just how the electronics can react to spikes that are high/low, taking out as many things that are in the way that COULD cause a problem probably saves them countless problems right from the start. I would probably say try it, worst case you can switch it however couldn't you use one of the voltage outputs on the isolator to run to an input on the holley to tell it when the switch is pushed and what to do when it does?
Not a big deal to me as my battery and ECU are in the back of my Cobra. Still they want dedictaed this, dedicted that, ground to here, ground to there, by the time you're done, you have 20#'s of wire/cable. Mines been good for years and I don't have A10 going hot until my Master Disconnect is ON and the Key ON. Other than that and the other issues I've had the past 11yrs, it's been a good system.

Painted the skid plate black for now. Gonna have it powder coated later on. Waiting in some black shackles to finish off the look I'm going for.

how bad has that exhaust bit ya getting out and forgetting? I know sooner or later I would forget and get out in extreme pain. I have a neighbor with a friend with one with a 427 and last year one day I saw him and his buddy roar around the corner, then later that day he had a large gauze pad on the back of his calf as he forgot along with not being the most nimble to get in/out.

That car is easier to get in/out more than the Mustang. Step in slide down to sit, and push yourself up and step out. Not having a roof makes that possible. I've never burned myself on the pipes, but have hit my head a couple times on the quick jacks over 25yrs. Only time wife got "snakebit" was the first drive and before I could say anything it was too late. That was 25yrs ago and she's never been bit again. For new passengers or ones that want to sit in it, I let them know before they move. The look on kids faces when they get behind the wheel is priceless.
