I have a silver BMR STB for sale but I don't think it fits the LT1 SS Camaros. I think you have to get a different one. You may ask around with the sponsors and members here and make sure.

I'm using the edelbrock one, even though its supposed to tie into the cowl, well I could only get one of the two bolts in there as the other ends up being in your windshield wiper area, I'm not sure if anyone makes one that works with the SS airbox.

I have a UMI brace, but its basically just to have something to lean on when I fiddle around above the car. Whenever I go to the track it comes off, along with the front sway bar. The benefit from a strut brace on a fourth gen is arguable, but I can say it at least made my cracked dashboard rattle less

I hope you know this is an appereance mod only since STB's don't do anything on 4th gens.

i sold mine. Look in all the GMHTP mags and all the cars in there runnin single digets and no STB. So i saved the weight and put $$ in my pocket. But wanna explain a bit more on how they do NOTHING on a 4th gen. I figure it have to do at least 1% of stiffness to it, lol.
