This is good information to have - thanks for that. Doubt I'll take it that far, but just for informational's sake, did ECS sell the bracket for tilting the radiator outside of the supercharger kit to you or did you manage to scrounge it off a supercharger kit part-out?
I got the cradle 4 inch tube and the panel that closes off the area in front of the radiator. All of which were parts from their turbo kit.

You know, now that I think about it, the radiator cradle may have been lowered. I didn't install the turbo kit myself, so I'll have to ask the guy who installed it if he had to lower the radiator or not. But if he did, I'm pretty sure he just loosened the bottom of it or something, he didn't replace the radiator cradle like WKMCD did.

Tom DeWitt now makes a shorter radiator specifically to accomodate the 4 inch tube.
