Edelbrock Strut Tower Brace?
Anybody currently using the Edelbrock Sturt tower brace? Ive heard they work wonders on newer cars, but those being the two point type, such as on a fourth-gen. The three point harness type, might help tighten up the old RS, and I was wondering if it is worth the 130 bucks, and if its hard to install. Thanks!

It is worth the $130. The quality is a bit sloppy but the performance difference is night and day. If you do not have sub frame connectors I would get them before you get the STB.

Well, I do have the 14 inch Edelbrock Open Air Element, with the K&N Air Filter assembly. Will it fit around this? Does it go under the filter pan, or around? The description of the product only says the A/C stuff must be on the passenger side. Which of course it is. If anyone can help me with this, Itd be greatly appreciated.

I've got one and it's great--good fit--like the extra mounting points compares to the 2 point type. However mine looks different than the one pictured in the post a couple above my post here. Mine, the main bar goes straight across--no jogs--maybe there is different types i am not aware of. I'm not sure mine wuld clear the big air cleaner if it went staight across, but I have TPI, actually TPIS mini-ram and there's so much room it's not even funny!

The TPI unit is a different animal from the TBI one, as you describe.
