Does anyone know if the brace will clear the Holley Stealth-Ram on a Vortech set up in a 91 Z? any help would be greatly appreciated

 

What brand? Don't think any of them clears, the edelbrock and BMR ones won't most likely. BMR has more clearance than the edelbrock one.

 

Have not really looked at brands, that is what I was wondering about if any could clear the Ram

 

The TBI brace from Edelbrock might...

 

I know for a fact that the Edelbrock TPI brace won't fit without modification or stock hood...got one as part of a package deal with subframe connectors. The brace hits on the throttlebody and stut mounts sit about 3-4" above the strut tower. I'm trying to decide if I should modify or sell it. I have a ram air hood, so if I mod it I think it'll clear the hood....need to do some mock up and measure to be sure about the hood clearance though.

 

my bmr strut tower brace worked nicely for my old Gm tpi but when i put the First fuel injections tpi on there it didnt fit anymore so i had to make 1 inch plates for it to barley clear the plenum... the brace just misses the hood by a hair but it all works... from what i hear the HSR fit even higher than the first intake so i dont think you will be able to use the strut tower brace anymore... thats was one of my reason not going with the HSR...

 

dunno if it helps but heres a (crappy) pic of tbi strut tower brace .my car is tbi. i ll get better pic tomorow if it helps with anything

 

No, none of the aftermarket ones will clear a stelth ram, without mods.

Better off building one yourself.

 

Well I do have a fabricator/welder at my shop, I am sure he could build one. Does anyone out there have one made already? this would cut down on time if I had plans to go by

 

The BMR won't fit with a stealth ram unless you modify the hood. I wonder if the UMI piece will fit with a stealth ram using either aftermarket strut mount or some sort of strut mount spacer.

I have the BMR with stealth ram combo and honestly i don't like visually how the BMR piece fits.
