Default Whipple and Strut Tower Brace

Hi Guys,
The Whipple is in and awesome!!!5 days of driving .... on my third tank of gas.

Now I'm cleaning up the underhood area (I got the polished whipple). I love the look of the Steeda strut tower brace ... anyone have one with a Whipple? If it fits it must be really tight.

Just wondering if anyone has the brace with a Whipple SC
Thanx, ErnieP

To my knowledge there is no tower brace that will clear any supercharger. [&o]

Except Saleen, I think.

You may want to try the Steeda brace for the V6. The V6 has a higher plenum and the brace is angled differently and is higher than the one for the V8. The V6 brace will clear a GT plenum cover, and may clear the Whipple too. It will definitely not clear the Saleen.

i'll be installing the HO kit in a couple of
weeks and i own a steeda strut tower brace.
this question will be answered once and for
all . by the looks of pictures it just might clear the
compressor itself, but the air intake area is
in question....

somebody should make one that connects the strut towers to the firewall. . . like they used to do! maybe not as strong as across from tower to tower, but i'm sure people would buy it!

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.
