Default good strut bar for raised plenums?

just recently put on a plenum spacer and had to get rid of the factory strut bar.

can anyone recommend a good strut bar for a decent price that will clear the plenum?

Which plenum spacer did you get? If you got a 5/16" or AAM angled spacer, then the stock strut fits just fine with the included spacers. If you got a 1/2" or skunk 2 spacers then you'll have to get a forward sitting strut bar like stillen, aps, or crawford.

Skunk spacer doesn't work with most bars. You can use some spacers to raise any of the bars, but you will most likely have clearance issues with the hood. You can use the Stillen or Crawford bar since they are in a different position.

APS and Stillen bars will work.

And you're the expert because Of all the plenum mods, that one is probably the least popular. I luv my Crawford. And, yes, I did my Home work on this and every other mod I have done.
