Looks better, question for you though, I don't know TPIs that well, in the before pic, I'm guessing they're called runners that 4 tubes that run along the side of the TPI, then in the after it's just 2 tubes that looked like they are joined. Is that an aftermarket part or what?

You need to upgrade to an 88+ firebird intake. That 87 unit is choking the **** out of your motor. I noticed a genuine SOTP improvement on my 2.8 by replacing that airbox with dryer hose!
