Do you know if it allows for dip stick better clearance

I had a Ford Performance Cowl and Strut Tower Brace on our 2024 GT Mustang.
Yes, you can get the Dip Stick Out.
No Problem.

Would that be fine?

The Ford Performance part number is,
M-20201-MA
This is the one I had installed on our 2024 GT, 401-A.

My new GT came with 20” wheels and I can confirm it has the metal cowl brace, but didn’t come with the strut tower brace. I just ordered the Ford performance one. Shame it comes bundled with the part I already have. But I wanted the genuine Ford part. I liked the cool center plate saying Ford Performance.

Here is a pic of my engine compartment with cowl brace factory installed.

I believe the factory 20s require the steel brace, gotta support those big wheels.
If your car has the factory 20 inch wheel option then it will come with the steel cowl brace.

I installed a take-off cowl and strut brace on my GT Premium. Got em used on offer-up and ebay. They can also be purchased from ford performance. The S550s braces are exactly the same and bolt right up incase anyone is wondering. The whole install took about 30 mins. You just have to take out the plastic cowl fasteners and lift up the panel to get to the cowl brace bolts. The torque specs are online.

Exactly!

These little things are why the Dark Horse is such a good track car as there stock.

That's a cowl brace and it's not exclusive to the Dark Horse. They come on GTs with 20in wheels and PP cars. Same with the S550s.

First off I did not say they are excusive to Dark Horse. Please learn how to read the post. Don't make up your opinion of the post without being able to comprehend what has been written. All I stated was these braces are part of what makes a Dark Horse so good on the track. I wish I could draw a picture because then I could send them to help you understand. Okay stay on topic have a good day.

Whoa, easy fella! I apologize for misunderstanding your post. No need to come back so hot. Sheesh.

So these STBs will fit on 300As without mods or additions? I may even install the cowl brace.

I don't see why not. I put the strut brace and cowl brace on my Premium. I'm not aware of any differences under the hood that would be a problem.

Hmm. I'm going tomorrow to pick up a new oxford white 300A, and I'm hoping it fits. AM sells them with the K Brace. I like the Mishimoto, but the Ford is cheaper. Actually going to need two sets. Going to set up two cars exactly the same. Can't wait for the Procharger HO to come out for S650s.

For what it's worth, I don't think the Ford strut brace will fit the towers correctly with out the k-brace under it. I discovered that when I went to install mine.
