I like the strut tower brace alot. I noticed a difference in handling when I first got it. I have the engine torque brace, but I need to grind some things to make it fit. I've been meaning to do that...for 10 months. :0

So if you removed your Charcoal Canister and capped the vent back to the tank do you get the big WhOOSH when you remove your gas cap?
With the vent capped it would seem you would have a huge vacumm in your tank and actually reduce your fuel pump flow?
I haven't connected the charcoal canister for my project vehicle yet but I didn't see any other way to do it.

I sanded EVERY single surface of the intake manifolds and TB cap. Then I painted them with 2 coats of gray primer. Then I used 2 coats of flat black. I used the spray cans that Pep Boys sells. I believe the brand was Plasti-kote.
