Anybody know who makes a strut tower brace that clears the supercharger piping with a vortech supercharger on a mustang 5.0 foxbody?? The one i have didnt clear the pipe going from the blower to the throttle body..

It doesn't fit without a spacer on the passenger side but then it's all lopsided. Only way I can see it working is making your own discharge tube.

'90-'93 Saleen strut tower brace will clear as pictured on my '90 Saleen with a Vortech:  -
The Maximum Motorsports brace, as previously mentioned, will not clear the Vortech discharge tube. I ended up having to slightly re-clock the supercharger volute and use a 90 degree elbow at the throttle body for the discharge tube to work with the strut tower brace:
