ok i just bought this trickflow kit from summit :
Trick Flow Specialties TFS-K51864075 - Trick Flow® Upper Plenum and Throttle Body Combos - Overview - SummitRacing.com

trickflow plenum 75mm throttle body and cai

the problem im having is the tube from the cai keeps hitting the strut tower brace trick flow said its because the plenum is 3/4 taller than stock and wont fit cause it a convertable.

my thoughts either one would a cobra intake tube work cause its smashed down in that area or is there a different strut tower brace that would work?

if any one has had this problem and have a solution let me know thanks

chris

+1 i even tried to put 3ms sticky rubber bumpers in and the adhesive would dry up and fall off from the engine heat i had the trickflow set up too but it was on a 96 coupe you have to ditch it or grind it too fit
