I ordered direct from Dewitts, Just sent it back last week to repair or replace, It was leaking. Hope to hear from them sometime this week. I have heard they have great customer service, We shall see.

They do a sale once a year. Otherwise find your favorite vendor and go for it. You should be able to get 10% off if you find the right vendor.
Stock fan will mount, but would over hang up top a ton, and probably draw most of the air from the huge gap. Plus if the point is to run a 4" inlet you would have to cut the crap out of it. I would plan on doing the dual fans as part of it.
I would just run the full size with stock fan if it was me.

You don't. You run the ECS inlet pipe and be happy. You take the $1000 you would have spent and put it towards traction. Car doesn't hook so what is the point of more power? I think 750-800rwhp with a nice 15" setup is a perfect setup in a vette, and a stock inlet will do that all day easy.

My point is you can make 1000+ easy enough without 4" inlet on anything but the stock PC inlet. The expense of the radiator with less cooling, and fans is a lot when the money could be put elsewhere. Unless you are at 1000+ and going for every last pony, just go down one pulley size for $80 and save the $1000+.
