hammeron, I can tell you have a GT brace, it's lower than the one for the V6. A V6 brace fron Steeda still might fit if yours doesn't.

the V8 brace will not fit IMO... it sits too low... the V6 intake is higher and the STB accomates it.

i've got the edelbrock one too!!! it's definitely the best one ;-)

clarification: i don't mean a strut tower brace that goes over the middle. i mean TWO SEPARATE braces, each one going from the strut tower to the firewall. not a great pic, but i think you get the idea:

450 is considered max "safe" area... but its all in the tune..... and its the rods not the cranks that have been know to let go....

but there are lots of guys running 450+ without breaking - for now anyway....

Hey vocoat,
The underhood looks great!!MyRoushhas a similar setup with the polish, scott drake caps,and the canton tanks. Have you found good billet caps for the radiator, power steering, brake, and whipple reservoir??I bought the scott drake brake cap, but it's too loose to use. I also have the power steering res .. no good billet cap for that yet.

Looking to add the color matching side panels, underhood paint, hood struts, polished radiator cover in the near future. I'd like to get the caps to match. Any help appreciated.
Thanx, ErnieP

Try the granatelli single. I think that is about as tall as you can go before the hood becomes an issue.

You can also see if the gt500 one fits. But the hood will need trimming.
