SS Strut Tower Brace Pic Request

Thinking about adding to our 1LE and would like to see pics installed under the hood and over the SS V8 as I understand the tower strut brace is standard on SS V8 convertibles...

Looks like 4 bolts total secure it to the strut towers?

Yes, 4 bolts. It's a very lightweight aluminum piece.

So I am looking at doing a Maggie 2650 on my '19 2ss convertible. However I just realized this issue with losing the strut tower brace. Im going to be putting a 5 or 6 point cage in, so would this offset the loss of the brace? Or should I go with a Procharger instead to prevent this issue altogether? I really was hoping to get the quicker throttle response from a PD blower. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Here's a couple pictures of the BMR Stainless Steel Strut Tower Brace P/N STB020. The second picture with the key fob reflects the clearance.
