STB for LSx?

I was wondering what do you guys use as a STB for a LSx swap? I want to stay away from 3 pts braces. I love the Jamex and Hotchkiss style, just unsure if they'll fit. I dont have hood insulation nor plan to add it.

Re: STB for LSx?

the LSx is lower then the strut towers... so you can run any brace you want... even a straight across flat one.

personally, i think the TPI braces look funny since they curve up when they dont need to.... i like the 3pt TBI or carb ones..... but a custom flat one will work best of course.
