Need an update on STB for V6's

OK, it's been a while since we haven't seen updates on fitment issue of Strut Tower Bar for V6.

I have myself tried a couples without much success but would like yo to share your experience with different manufacturer to help others deciding on which one to buy.

My test were:

BMR (single bar): Touching very slightly the intake and hood liner

Granatelli (single bar): Touching the intake

Granatelli (double bar): Touching the intake with a lot of pressure

Of course these results are installing the bar "as-is", no washer or modification of the bar since I don't want to reduce the performance.

What about other V6 bars:
Granatelli billet double ?
Steeda for V6?
Ingalls?
Strange developments?
Ford racing?
Others?

I have the Blue Oval single bar. It's touching the hood liner but not the hood as far as I can tell.

So I assume this bar comes no where near the hood liner. (I am looking for a V8 brace and this is a question I haven't gotten the answer to yet. Sorry to intrude.)

Sometimes what happen with hood liners is that they are too soft and when th hood is closed they bend downwards and rest on the bar causing the identation in the liner, you will even notice some cars the liners devlelopping holes because the rub on the intake.
