This is an old pic, when I had a procharger. This is when I raked my radiator the first time. Look at the BAR in front of the CHARGE/BYPASS pipe, that BAR is supposed to be where that charge pipe is but, again, I cut it, and moved the BAR 6 inches forward, and welded it back in place. This mod is common on centrifugal supercharged cars because they wanna get the LARGEST inlet on they're blowers for those big filters....cant do that with a radiator in your way though.

Thought about doing a flat radiator, just never needed to.

Yeah spdkilz vette is sick, although ever since the turbo kit was installed, I've only seen or heard from him maybe once or twice. Even his site, wasn't updated for a while...but I haven't checked in some time.

In my experience,..just do it. Lay it down, try it out,..worse case,..you wasted your time on 4 brackets, maybe to but,..you'll gain knowledge,..and then I won't have to try it myself.
