Yep, from the deck up, the 88 T1 is just like the 89 T1 (mitsu turbo, roller cam, 1-pc intake) and from the deck down just like the early 2.2 T1. In a Shadow/Sundance, it would be a strong combination.
One question Art - did you ever have to tech that combo? The blueprint specs are confusing. NHRA lists the log intake manifold P/N, which is not correct.

Yes they tore me down at Enghishtown for going 1.37 under I knew I would be torn down I showed them the difference in the log manifold. So only the 88 would get the hit. Wesely looked at the differences and agreed with me. but 3 weeks later they factored all the 2.2 turbo 1's from 84 to 88.
there are a couple of typo's in their classification guide, but I wouldn't count on them. They make the rules so it is perfectly okay (in their eyes) to change them. After all nobody, not even the turbo haters can come up with an ahfs factoring number that got me 13 horsepower at once. That was attributed to the "Artie Leong rule". figure out what number it took to move me 2 full classes (actually what it took to get me out of stock eliminator forever)
