Don't believe you can put a tower brace on a supercharged 5.0.

It isn't a 5o It's a 4.6

Doesn't matter. Every Mustang since 2005 with a supercharger can't have a strut tower brace.

ZEKE22, Call the boys at "CARID" 888-634-9437. They have strut tower braces that fit supercharged 4.6L mustangs. They have to know the year of your pony because their towers are model and year specific. Let us know what the outcome is.

Depends on the Supercharger and the mfg of the strut tower brace.

One that steeda makes only fits those that use a Whipple brand SC

Here is one specifically for the Rousch.

You are limited in selection due to the height of the SC and the clearance under the hood. It has to fit in between the SC and Hood.

Yeah, that's the Roushcharger. I had the Bullitt STB before the Whipple and tried it after we installed the Whipple. The problem with the Whipple isn't the blower itself, but the TB sitting off to the driver's side. It's too high, in turn, causing the STB to not fit. Now here is the usual "monkey wrench." There are other people who have installed the Bullitt/v6 STB and claim they fit perfectly. Now be advised, the ones that "fit perfectly" may have had some fabrication/jury rigging performed to make it fit. This is here-say information, and I accept no responsibility for this information. Has anyone had any experience with this modification???

zeke22, this is just hot off the press. I was told the only stabilizer bar I know of is the Steeda STB specifically made for the Whipple / FRPP kit, but you need the Steeda or BBR cowl hood to clear it. This information might add a new dimension to your issue. Do a lot of research before making a commitment.
