Default Kenny Brown Strut Tower Brace or Hurst Short Throw?

Well, I already have bunch of mods, but I have an outstanding credit with RPM Outlet. I would go with U/P, but the Whipple install is coming soon. So I have an in store credit for a defective X-pipe that I received. What should I buy?? Both are around the same dollar amount.. Please give me some input.. Would appreciate it! And buy the way I do have the Saleen Short Throw adapter w. Steeda Urethane bushings installed arlready.... or something different around $200.00 bucks

Definatley the shifter.

The strut tower brace is pretty much useless, and if you're getting a supercharger it probably won't fit anyway.

Def The shifter. But if I wanted to burn money on a STB I think Kenny Brown claims their's will clear a S/C. Your a brave man for dealing with RPMoutlet. Heard some real horror stories about them.

Go with the shifter, you will feel the difference that your money spent.
I do not think you will feel a difference on the strut brace.
You will get more happiness out of your money on the shifter than you will on the brace.
Then you can make me deal on the Saleen short throw adapter and Steeda bushings

Are you not able to keep the Saleen adapter (block) and bushings when you change out to a new shifter? I was hoping that it would even reduce the throw more since the setup now took it down about 27%, then the Hurst push it farther? Just wasn't sure how it was set up and if you have to rid of the shifter block and bushings..???

I voted for shifter as well. Had I gotten a manual, that would have been one of the first things to go.
