The stuff works. The drawback is it wreaks havoc on the engine seals and anything that gets coolant and oxygen together. If you have no future plans for the engine, go for it. If you like your engine, get a radiator.

I vote chop or restickered. FWIW, the 88 manual reads: OCTANE RATING Select Research Octane No. 91 (Octane Rating 87) or higher. For improved vehicle performance, the use of Premium unleaded gasoline with a Research Octane No. of 96 (Octane Rating 91) or higher is recommended.

Damn you are making fast progress with this car. That spot looked like you did a 'Jesus roll' of biblical proportions. You keep this pace going and it will all be completed this summer.
