I have a Steeda. There is enough room for a supercharger (centri) with mine.
If you go roots style then there is not.

check out the ones on stangsuspension.com - I almost bought one but it is not really necessary and kind of a waste of money unless you have a badass suspension setup already imo

What do you guys thing about that spider brace? Im not sure I'm a fan of it. The radiator support is pretty weak, I don't think I'd want to use that for stability. The strut towers are only secured by one bolt. Looks to me that ifthe towersflex they will just "pivot"around the bolt. The mm brace is secured with 3 bolts on each tower and 4 total on the firewall, that seems more stable to me.

Its not a necessity but Idisagree that it is a waste of money. Id rather have a good STB than a CAI orthrottle body/plenum. There was a night and day difference with mine.

Maybe not a waste but I'd put it before subframes and control arms BUT I don't own one. I guess that's just my uninformed opinion

The tower brace + subframe connectors + control arms + good shocks/struts = one great handling all around car for street and strip.

Mean you wouldnt put it before sfc'sand ca's? I agree, I wouldn't either. But I do think they're worth while. Im sure all cars respond differently. But on my car the new stiffness in the front was great. No more sloppy handling or rattling over bumps and stuff.
