Strut brace for HSR

Looking to install a strut brace but have been told my HSR manifold will be a problem. Does anyone make one that fits my 92 Z28 and HSR?

Sorry, I can't answer your question. That said, if you haven't already, you might consider after market strut mounts with spherical bearings before or in conjunction with a future STB.

Re: Strut brace for HSR

i have been looking for awhile for one. no luck, alot of people build there own but then your hood clearance is an issue. a cowl hood or a raised hood is a must because the stealth ram sits at least an inch or two higher then the tpi or tbi.

Re: Strut brace for HSR

I have seen pics of a custom made STB that fits. None that you can buy from a manufacturer is going to fit.

The HSR will fit under a stock hood, correct?

Mine is extremely close. The clamp on the intake dented my hood.
