I forget where on the forum, but I believe I have seen pictures of braces on cars with whipples. Wonder which brace it is.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07SGT4578 Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 unless you lower the motor, one will not fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COBRA SCOTTY Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 unless you lower the motor, one will not fit. Your are absolutely 100% correct ; if you do not lower the motor with special motor mounts you will not be sporting a strut tower brace on your GT/SC.

ilmor Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 I have heard that the V6 strut tower brace will fit the whipple, but I cannot verify it. edit...I already said that on this thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COBRA SCOTTY Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Where do you get the mounts to lower it? Thanks- Hey Swede, i believe you can get them or order them from Tasca and you can ask Gil at SAI performance shop if that's where your car is at.

Scotty Thanks Scotty. Car is still at Shelby, I'll ask him tomorrow for the info. PS: New Whipple stock FRPP tune yesterday.........506 RWHP per Gil. A little scary wouldn't you think? I wonder if I shouldn't have him tune it down, but he said this was a stock tune from Whipple/Ford. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWEDEMAN Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 I just heard from a TS memeber that the engine lowering mounts are a PITA to deal with. Lots of rattles etc.... infact after they were installed professionally he had them removed and never looked back. Just an FYI here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0201212 Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 I would shoot Jim screen name clark17357 a pm. I think he has the v6 strut brace. He would know better then I but should be able to help you out. Hope it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWEDEMAN Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 I hate to leave my brace off but with contradicting reports....I am going to pass right now. I guess the V-6 brace works but only with a KB blower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trackeer Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Hi, I have the Whipple SC'er on my 07SGT and can attest for a fact there is NO room for the Strut Brace!!!! They cut a hole in my SGT H hood to accomodate the top of the SC'er. As for RWHP, mine is pushing 476 HP at the rear wheels as Dyno'ed at Taska who also installed and did the tune for the SC'er, if you feel you need over 500 Ponies at the rear end, all the power to you, as Dennis pointed out, if you feel it's over done we'll back it down.

COBRA SCOTTY Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 There is no such thing as to much power if you have the traction to use it. Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomkay Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 You could check with Lethal Performance as they list several that fit s/c Mustangs with 2.3 or 3.4 Whipples made by Steeda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jer Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 There is no such thing as to much power if you have the traction to use it. And the driveline to withstand all that power connecting to the ground HARD. Wheelspin is God's way of saving you the expense of a stronger clutch, tranny, rearend, etc... Seriously, though, with stock non-forged internals and driveline, something's gotta give... I'd rather it be the tires! If you were to hook up flawlessly, the next sound you'd hear would be metal wrenching. Traction is the immovable object, a badass engine is the irresistable force. Sir Isaac Newton didn't know it, but he had some Shelby in his genes... Just my ridiculous 2 cents. Laugh at me all ya want, my wife does.

blueone Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Yep, and an aluminum flavor as well? Yeah, but aluminum flavor is +3k and that's a lot of $ for a few pounds, 3k would put a good sized dent on the cost of the rotating assembly.

SGT/SC#0471 Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Yep, I agree I am not up to speed on these engines I wonder what kind of HP would be possible with a whipple 140 and forged internals...any idea? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stwsam Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 kr brace can be notched and re-welded. then, the hood must be notched. I had this done in 2008 on 07sgt3501 that someone else is now driving. miss that car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT/SC#0471 Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Wow! so can I ask where the notches were cut in both the hood and the brace? Sounds cool, thanks for your post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
