Default Last minute under the hood mod!

Well, right before the Brawl, I talked to Powerhouse about thier new adjustable strut tower brace. They mentioned they could powder coat it red....

...which tied into my engine dress up real nice. I've been waiting on posting pics of my engine for this mod.

Impressions, when i had the front sway bar removed from the car, I noticed the car "rolling" more on turns. I wanted to address it without adding the sway bar and messing up the weight transfer on the drag setup. This strut tower brace was a nice choice, it helped a good bit and ow the car handles pretty good on corner carving. I'm sure with a front sway bar, it would be even better.

Notice that its adjustable, and based on measurements taken, it can clear an Xcharger.

Here are some pics, another modification I am quite satisfied with:
