Default Strut Brace for '07 with Whipple?

I've searched this forum (and I'm sorry if I missed it) and elsewhere and I have yet to find anything definitive - is there are strut tower brace that will work on the '07 GT with the FRPP Whipple supercharger?

Nope not enough clearance. The S197 chassis is light years better than the SN95 and they dont need all the braces like strut tower or subframe.

Unless you are a serious serious road racer i would skip the brace.

If you have to have one you would need a cowl hood and something custom I would venture.

Yep.

I talked to Dave about this already and they believe it will work. If you want to order one from us and it doesn't we'll take it back.



$259.00

In fact, since you will be the "tester", I'll knock $20.00 off for you.

Just mention Whipple Tester in the comments section.

Thanks

Thanks Ken - much appreciated - I had emailed Dave earlier and he didn't seem sure, so I didn't pursue it, but it would be worth trying under these circumstances.
