Default So who makes the highest stb?

I have the MSD intake manifold, which sits higher than the FAST, so my stb that I got in like 2000/1 won't clear. Not sure who's it is, maybe slp or bmr, won't clear it.

So who makes one that sits higher?

You might have a problem, because if the STB is much higher, then it will interfere with the hood closing. How much more clearance do you need? Any chance you could make a couple of spacers to go between the towers and the brace you have?

I need about 1/2" if memory serves me.

I have had a few customers with FAST 102 or similar intakes that run our v-6 brace (STB002) for extra clearance. This brace runs higher, but closer back towards the wiper cowl to give more intake clearance. This may be an option for you

Yep, thats what I ended up figuring. I just sold mine to a local guy and said the heck with it....didnt feel like modifying and having it re-powder coated.
