Best/cheapest Strut Tower Brace for TBI

I am thinking of getting a STB for a TBI. I would like one that can go around an open element as well as a stock cleaner. Any help with that would be good.

Mine is from Ground Control Racing.The catalog lists it as an Upper Stress Bar and it's $109.Clears open element fine, doesn't hit AC Compressor,looks good. Made from Chromemoly tubing with steel rod ends.

I suggest a Edelbrock TBI STB. I got mine from www.carpartsonsale.com. To my surprise they even threw in a free Camaro t-shirt for free. Later I modified mine to a 4-point. I figured since mine's a 'vert it needs all the chassis stiffening it can get. Oh, in case you are wondering, my open element air filter is from S&B #77-1403/D. I'll post pictures when I've finished with the custom ducting to force-feed it from the NACA duct I put in the hood (current project).
