Default Fast Wont Fit With Slp 2pt Tower Brace

Ok, Basically It Does Fit But My Slp 2pt Tower Brace Is Snugged Up Against The First Runner And I Am Concerned That When The Motor Is Ran Hard The Motor Might Shift Upwards And Slam The Runner Into The Stb Causing Damage To The Fast Manifold ?

Should I Just Remove The Tower Brace??

Thanks!

I've read about other reports of low clearance with the fast and stb's. No one has ever said that anything ended up broken, but I'd definitely be willing to ditch an stb to run a fast intake.

What is the brace used for? Road racing only. I think this heavy brace is a waste for the average street/drag car.

well when you hit the gas the engine can shift upwards a little bit right? this thing is so close if the engine moved 1\2 inch up it would definately crack the **** oft of the top shell

You could try spacing the STB with some thick washers. Not sure how much clearance you can get since the bolts are only so long but its worth a shot. If that does't work I would just ditch the STB not worth damaging the fast.
