Does anyone know if a brace for the strut tower is available for Saleen supercharged cars?

I think that the V6 brace from Steeda would fit. the v6 has a higher intake manifold than the v8 and it may just give you enough clearance

Problem is I have the Saleen S/C and there is zero room above or behind the S/C!

The S/C is about1/2 to 3/4" below the hood insulation.

I never thought about bracing from the botom.Thanks for the idea and link.I kinda like the look of the brace across the top.
