Any strut tower bar fit with VMP TVS 2.3 + GT500 TB?

[Drive XR7]

Have installed a TVS 2.3 with GT500 single-blade throttle body. My original Cobra CAI wouldn't fit because this TB is just huge. I was able to have a VMP 5" intake for the 03 Cobra (VMP 5" INTAKE KIT FOR 03-04 COBRA) which includes a slot style MAF housing and sensor. With this huge intake, my original STB no longer fits.

Wondering if anyone else has tried this combo, or have experience with any other intake that fits this GT500 throttle body?

I'm exploring building a spacer for the STB. This convertible flexes already like crazy, need as much stabilization as possible.

A few photos showing what I'm talking about.

I have the same problem with my ported eaton/dragon/JLT carbon fiber RAI setup. The intake tube sits too high and close to the strut tower. I have decided to hack up my MM strut tower brace and make my own. I plan to use the original MM mounting plates since I already have the holes drilled but the plates will have ears to bolt to the strut tower brace. This will make it easier to remove. I'm also planning to incorporate a master cylinder brace since I have manual brakes and the firewall flexes noticably under hard braking.
