how would a front strut brace help you in a drag race?

I also have a frpp strut tower brace, and I dont have any problems with it.
it really made the car carve into the corners better, it almost feels like there is no body roll.
it is also high enough for an edelbrock intake.
you don't even need to take the brace off to take off the upper intake.

I have seem firewall bent because of that 2 bolt design...the 4 bolt is must better
Ah, good point. I just went and checked and mine is the 2 bolt design. I'll keep an eye out for a 4 bolter. But, no problems yet.

let me rephase this a lil as for street stuff the 2 bolts is ok..it's way better than not having anything

lucky.......the brace is a must when using coilovers on the front for either drag or corner carver..
