Looks like your ready to go back to the track. I know that 88 can do better than high 11's.

Is that a ford style radiator? Return on right side? Is the pick up on the left or right? That could be useful in my setup.

yes the return is on the driver side, and pick up on the left, its a griffin 19x22
the 4" intake piping is the same size as my 4" exhaust, 4" piping looks so pimp.

hopefully she will do a whole lot better then high 11's as next time she goes out she'll have some meaty stickies and a 3 speed with a brake.

Where did you get your bends from and do you bead the ends? Finished product looks great!

bought them used off of a guy with a 1000+RWHP single turbo viper as he had some left overs.
some of the ends are beaded, but not all as its hard to get the silicon and clamps on. i think the tbolt clamps wil hold pretty well, if not then ill bead them.
