If you click on the tiny square to the right of the bottom picture, it will take you to my new 434/Whipple build site.

I'd say a TT setup with an inlet on each end of the intercooler and the outlet in the middle top going over and through the top of the radiator support would look good. Little to much plumbing for me right now though.

Bob, while I've got your attention, have you had any edelbrock pro flo xt intakes in your shop or know of any setups with that intake? They do ok as a NA and FI intake? If they perform as claimed to, I'd definitely be in for one.
