500forme Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Has anyone found a Strut tower brace to fit over the Kenne Bell super charger? If so, could you please post what you found and where you found it. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt A Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 You can use the stock one with lowered engine mounts from Evo Perf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
500forme Posted August 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 You can use the stock one with lowered engine mounts from Evo Perf. Yep...thought about that, but I don't really want to start jacking around with changing the motor mounts. Seemed that quite some time ago, I saw somewhere on the TS forum that someone thought that there would be a billit brace available that would fit under the SS hood. Something like that is what I'm hoping to find. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called about that brace, they told me that the STB application is 4.6L 3V w/3.4 Wipple. They were not sure about the taller 5.4L. R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lethal makes a real nice set of lowering mounts now. I would like to do this mod, any info would be appreciated. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

08jester Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Met these people at SEMA. They have a 725HP SS and they are working on the strut tower brace. Hopefully, have it done before the end of the year. www.frpcustoms.com They have lots of cool stuff. Including a different brake cooling system with "better" hoses....

bossreg Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 UPDATE: Prototypes completed ahead of schedule :happy feet: ....they look great...what kind of finish do you all think I should put on it? Painted body color with supersnake logo ( of course I will have to clear this with SAI) or gloss black, body color with the triple stripes? should get pre-production parts going next week...first run of approx 30 units......it has about 5/8" clearance above the Kenne Bell...does anybody think the engine will torque up that high?...

Thanks, Robert Great no problem...if I had to do it again I would take it in another 1/4"...it clears now it's just damn close when I load her up for the drive to Tulsa evey year...If you ever want to discuss give me a call 314-378-5408...Reg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too am thinking about 3/4" instead of 1/2" per side. I am also interested in the fit of the 275's (that were originally on the rear) moved to the front 9" Alcoa's. It appears from my calculations that the aspect ratio should be very close.............275's on the 9" rim front and 305's on 10" rim rear.<<But the question is, will they touch anything while turning the wheel from lock to lock?

Excellent! I would prefer either a natural mill finish (if its aluminum) to match the fluid caps or black to match the super charger. Put me on the buyers list.
