1001 words, this is Version 4 on a FI engine stripped down to keep it cool, no plastic on top or bottom of engine bay and secret cooler fans hidden that I can't tell you about.

 

Here is version 3 on N20

 

Cool, i was gonna do the Kinetix one but i'll give the Crawford one a go. Deff. gonna get the polished version, looks so good. So is it a noticable power gain? Must really help out a FI car, cause someday i wanna run the Greddy Kit. Thanks Guys!!

 

I just put on my Ver 5, 2nd is nice but I can't tell about 1st gear, tires just spin

 

where are the strut bars in those earlier pics?

 

I have a feeling that the STB does not fit due to the S/C location. Correct me if I am wrong 12SecZ.

 

All versions of the Crawford will not allow the use of the stock STB they sell the one pictured I have. I don't always use it for straight races it's not needed for that.

Kinetix does allow the use of your stock STB but doesn't support FI and hasn't offically gone on the record for N20 use. I think they are making a different FI version.

Like I said, both have pro's and con's but both have good people behind them.

 

eww i would like my strut bar to be on all the time...so i guess i wouldn't get this....is there an aftermarket one to fit over? did you run that 13.5 with this and what else 12secZ. Thats what i am looking to run stock....but i want to do high flow cats, plenum...exhaust...cai...

 

I misunderstood fdao's question sorry. Will the Crawford STB fit with FI? I don't know I haven't tried I sold mine, I don't use it.

Just so you know on my LS1's the STB (Strut Tower Brace) locked the engine down to the struts thus the term STB. These stock and after market ones don't do that they just stop body flex and protect the engine bay and front end. You really want to corner then try some coil overs and new sway bars etc the STB use on our car is blown out of proportion, I have Eibach springs etc and Falken tires and my car corners just fine without the STB. Enough on all that drama.

13.5 was with a $100.00 custom exhaust (resonator and y-pipe delete into a single 3 inch straight pipe, then to a single chamber Magnaflow race muffler, Injen CAI, and ET streets on an A5T. About 350 in mos plus tires. Then I added UR pullies and then later N20 then well more drama and here I am lol.
