Strut tower brace with supercharger?

[Ken H.]

If Shelby doesn’t think a brace is needed on their supercharged 810hp cars, why do it ?

It really doesn’t matter for street driving. It’s really for improving handling performance at the car’s extremes on the track. Most of use would never notice the difference. Shane van Gisbergen probably would. Just my opinion.
But, it does look cool when you open the hood. I still want one.

Means a hellva lot more than yours.

Like ford said...Shelby doesn't race

They aren't doing any testing or racing

But strut tower braces don't improve your track times on these cars. It's a feel better mod.

“and the convertible also features the same lightweight magnesium tower-to-tower brace in the engine bay.”

“The Dark Horse SC convertible is based on the Mustang GT convertible, and Ford claims the body structure was already rigid enough that it didn’t need to add any additional bracing. “….

It is not needed, it's something that will help with Front end rigidity.

Steeda makes a under car bracket ( stabilizer) works great. Sorry I forget exact name. But if you look up drag kit it'll pop up. My DK was difficult to keep from crossing yellow line we I go wide open, installed this and it helps a lot. The torque is a big difference from stock to SC. I have the Stage 2 whipple with custom tune. BTW if your gonna play hard launching, change the rear axles to Fords 1500 hp axles, and an avenger one piece aluminum dry shaft.
Good luck. Enjoy
