None of them say if can clear a Holley stealth ram intake. Going coil overs I want to do this at a minimum.

I don't believe there is one that will fit with the Stealth Ram.

Check out the BMR 3-point STB brace. They look very nice in the engine bay and they provide a little extra clearance that some of the other braces don't have.

Yea hoping my paracing k frame and style engine mount drops it an inch.

Might as well install a Steering Brace while your at it.( aka wonder bar )
Here's what I put in.

Been thinking about that and just ordered one. Thanks for reminding me. Still looking through top braces. Ugh

I've been looking for a STB as well, but none say they fit a car with the HSR setup. The BMR mentioned above by blacksunshine'91 does appear to have more clearance, I just emailed them to ask if they knew if it would clear or not.

If they don't know but will agree to a return if it doesn't fit, I'll probably purchase and give it a shot - but probably won't do that until spring time.
