Basically I'm looking for info on running a 4inch diameter intake pipe and what people did to make them fit ( lowering cradle leaning rad forwards or backwards etc)

I like your setup as well c5kid and have been thinking about going that route but I think I will end up lowering the cradle some and cutting the bar that the rad mounts to on the bottom and sliding it forward to gain enough room to run a 4inch intake... All because I refuse to run a certain companies dongle .....

I do like the looks of the layed down rad setup though!

you don't even need to lower the cradle

do a search for my name and there is a thread in the FI i believe it is
"347 rebuild" and shows how i did that setup.

The reason I won't run their dongle is because I ordered it in may along with a bunch of other parts and two weeks ago when I opened the box to install the parts the dongle and filter was not in there They said there is nothing they can do but sell me another one and I refuse to pay for it again! If I had lost it or broke it sold it etc that's fine but when I never recieved it I'm sure as heck not going to pay for it twice. I don't mean to bash them I just want to move on and find out what others who have made their own setup have done

That line is going to the radiator - not connected to the S/C.
