Just trying to plan ahead. Please let me know if anyone makes an STB that will clear the subject blower on our V6 engines?

Thanks.

the car that Doug installed the hi-po on last July had a stb, not sure of the brand, may be able to go back and find the post from last year and look at it.

The "X" sits about 1/2" to 3/4" lower than the stock manifold when installed. Any V6 brace should most likely fit. Some GT ones might too, but I haven't tested that theory.

I have a brace on mine, and I gained space under it when the "X" went in.

This is awfully encouraging, Paul, thanks. I hope David can get some more carbonfiber stock (and a "good" subcontractor). Previously, I'd been looking at the double-beam Steeda, but it's steel and David's is only four pounds and, with our V6 engine, you need to take advantage of lightweight things whenever you can.
