Well, right before the Brawl, I talked to Powerhouse about thier new adjustable strut tower brace. They mentioned they could powder coat it red....

...which tied into my engine dress up real nice. I've been waiting on posting pics of my engine for this mod.

Impressions, when i had the front sway bar removed from the car, I noticed the car "rolling" more on turns. I wanted to address it without adding the sway bar and messing up the weight transfer on the drag setup. This strut tower brace was a nice choice, it helped a good bit and ow the car handles pretty good on corner carving. I'm sure with a front sway bar, it would be even better.

Notice that its adjustable, and based on measurements taken, it can clear an Xcharger.

Here are some pics, another modification I am quite satisfied with:

looks like a nice piece, but whats the advantage of an adjustable strut brace? to me, it does not make sense.

Its strong enough for the job, and its adjustable so it clears plenum covers, blowers, etc.

so the bolts near the struts loosen, and the arm swings up? then extend the middle bar to make up the difference?
