Do any of you high horsepower members run with a engine strut tower brace?

If yes, please share the make and model or, even better, a url where to buy. Something like this:

If no, is it you feel a tower brace would ruin the daily driver experience?

The Panther is a full frame car with no strut towers. Even if you braced the area it's only sheet metal with no rigidity or ability to stiffen the chassis.

I think the only way to stiffen the chassis more will be a roll cage or custom frame.

Not needed on a full frame car, solid engine mounts or torsion brackets tying engine to frame would be only upgrade options but it might make daily driving less enjoyable depending on your personal preferences,

Thank you all for the feedback. No tower brace it is.

Mine and Zack's have fully welded mounts and you can't even tell.

Cool to hear, what about when you had the cams? Did you have solid mounts then?

Unfortunately no. But I do plan to re install.

Was wondering how much vibration with a cammed engine would transfer to passenger compartment with solid mounts.

Thanks Bobby! :)
