  • Can anyone tell me what this part is???

    I was looking over the ZZP TB install how to, and noticed a yellow bar that goes above the engine and attaches to both sides of the fender area...what does that bar do?

    That is a shock tower brace. It stiffens up your front end suspension. Lots of companies make them. Learn more about them here: http://mods.firebirdv6.com/suspension.html

          You will need to look at the manufacturer's site for the STB. Most LS1 STB will properly fit a V6, but the LT1 will not.

                whether they really make a difference has been debated to death. if youre going for a drag car or something similar forget it. if you want a stiffer chasis/front end and you like the look of the bar up there 60-90 dollars isnt too big of a hit. im sure it doesnt hurt. :)
