For the most part a strut tower brace is aesthetic. Some people swear by them, some disregard them. I've driven with mine on and off and I can't really tell a difference taking roundabouts in the 40 mph range. They're a pain to work around or take off almost any time you need to do something.

That being said, I'd never remove mine permanently. There's just something about it.

I ordered my strut tower brace and long tube headers. Now i need to find my LS6 intake manifold and find a place to port my stock throttle body.

For $800 you can get ARH if I'm not mistaken.

Predator

Aftermarket rearend with 4.10s/ 4.11s for a strong foundation to build on. And even without added horsepower the gears will make your car a blast to drive.

It'll need tune if he install the gears otherwise his speedo will be off I think.

Whats ARH? lol

Okay so here is the deal. Talked to a ol buddy of mine. He now owns a tuning shop in Manhattan kansas. I get all parts for 40% price! and work is for free! he has a dyno machine in the shop along with a airlift. Im getting the following for under 3K. Longtube headers, cam, heads, manifold intake, big mouth throttle body, 4.11 gears, LS9 clutch, and strut tower brace. Any other parts i could need?? thoughts?

American racing headers, one of the best headers. If I could afford ARH I'd buy one over any lt headers out there.

If you can get those parts for 3k I'd consider it a good deal. Since you're buying brand new parts. What heads and cam and what kind of intake manifold btw?

I have a LS6 intake I'll sale you if you're interested. You'll need to reuse the evap canister/sensor from your LS1 because I took it off the LS6 to reuse with my FAST intake.

brenden1661

give me some ideas for cams and heads! and ya its a good deal! i wanna dyno it even if i have diablo!

I'd message PatG about the cam. For heads, AI ported 243's are good, but if you're saving tons of money look some different PRC models.

Yeah I second that notion, msg patG he'll hook u up with bad *** EPS cam.
