I just had the Roush Phase II supercharger installed and they had to remove the strut tower brace. Does anyone know where to find a strut tower brace that will over the supercharger? I've looked all over the internet and can't seem to find one so I need some help.

You won't find one, there is no clearance for the brace. Price you pay for super power just when you need the stiffness the most.

get a aftermarket hood and some adjustable engine mounts to lower the engine 2 inchs and it will fit

That will probably create other clearance issues and just not worth the trouble.

You don't need one on a 2016 Mustang! They don't twist like earlier Mustangs! I'm running 670 + H.P. with no problem!

Mr. D - have you upgraded your rear axle half shafts? I have the 670hp supercharger package but haven't upgraded the drive-train at all. So far no problems but I'm about to go to 305 wide NT05s in the rear and am wondering about the potential for breaking shafts. I can't find any hard figures for torque or hp limits on OE shafts. I know some websites say to upgrade if you install forced induction, but that makes no sense to me unless you increase grip...

IIRC, if you have an automatic, you are probably good. Sticky tires and a manual could lead to breakage.

I've heard the same but I've also been called crazy and told that without drag radials and a prepped surface I won't break anything; too much slip. I never dump the clutch and launch hard from a stop, so I'll probably take the risk and see how it goes with stock parts for now.
