Only problem I had post-install was the brace rubbing on the upper plenum, but that was easily fixed by adding a couple more spacers.

I don't have that problem, but I think I read about that in another thread on here. Are you sure your brace isn't rubbing?

^^ For vibration, I agree ... add washers under the brackets for the strut bar to body connection.

For engine running hard, is it like it has no power or just noise? Sounds like an air leak. Maybe the gasket pushed out or in somewhere along the edge. Also check the three hoses around the throttle body and make sure they are all connected.

I found out the problem. It was the strut bar touch the upper plenum, that caught the engine run hard and it feel like it has no power. How many spacers did u guys put under the brackets?
