Over the Rad Intercooler Piping?
Has anyone ever seen intercooler piping that runs over the rad, similar to the TPI air cleaners?
I figure it will save a lot of piping and elbows vs going under the rad support. I don't want to cut the car to fit the intercooler/piping.

maybe you can get a procharger IC for an LT1 C4 corvette to work, they go over the rad and are pretty compact.

I went around the radiator. Only required a couple snips and a bend to make clearance for a 2.5inch pipe.
ur50slow has a sweet set up! he welded the pipe into his upper support bracket. I wish i had pics.
