That's a Sweet TB Jim, is that the secret NOS TB from Holley??? I like the strut tower but I like the three point better, I thought that strut tower braces were supposed to bolt into the bolts that hold the struts, not beside them..

Some one help clarify that one..

i have a BMR strut tower brace on mine... no pics at this moment, but i will try to get some soon for ya... and as for them bolting to the strut bolts... on 4th gens they do bolt to those... but on thirdgens you only have one strut bolt... so you have to drill holes in front for the STB to bolt in...

Kevin, that's the regular 52mm Holley throttle body. I don't have a Nitrous system, nor am I likely to add it anytime soon. If I ever did add nitrous, I'd probably do it in a way that made it very hard to detect... like a direct-port system on the underside of the intake manifold.

It's a Jamex. Jamex doesn't sell their stuff in the states anymore, so they liquidated all of their stock. Some performance shop bought it all and put it on Ebay. I got the STB for $30 shipped.

I think it works good. There's no doubt that it's not as stiff as other brands, but the price was right, and I like the polished aluminum. The car definately drives better. The steering is much more precise, and the car doesn't creak and moan over bumps as much.
