Question to E-force Supercharged Camaro Owners

I Cannot find anything online about a strut tower brace bar that will clear the Eforce Supercharger (New Red/Black style lid) Example: http://psndealer.com/dealersite/imag...upercharge.jpg

Does anyone that has the Eforce SC have a strut tower brace, and if so Which one?

I drive a 2011 Just FYI

Thanks in advance!

Edelbrock still offers the 10-13 covers. They had to change front for the 14-15s because of the hood vents.

I cant find where to buy the Older style Lid....Can only find coil covers, which wont work with my lid.
i like how it looks the way it is and would like to not have to spend extra money changing things.
i would just like to know if anyone who has this particular SC with the newer style lid has a strut tower brace, and which one they use if they do.

i also have a 2011 w/ an E-force, of course it is the flat style but I have almost 6 inches of clearance under my tower brace. the zl1 brace would surely work even for the new e-force lids.

Did some researching and supposedly the Zl1 strut tower brace will not clear the SS Hood (Zl1 cowl has more clearance)

On my 2011 EForce I'm running a hotchkis with a custom built 1" phenolic lid spacer and RDS phenolic spacers on the bottom of supercharger and still have clearance (1/4"). Also you can buy Detroit Speed motor mounts which will lower motor 1/2".

I've been looking for answers to this same question for a long time now. I also have the newer edelbrock supercharger, and although I've had people with the older style confirm that a strut tower brace fits, I haven't had any luck finding anyone running one on the newer lid. Since then, I've just been waiting for someone to try it first haha. Let me know if you do find a solution!
