I am running a BeCool. Took a few calls to them and some authorized modifications to fit. Once it was all done it fit nice. My SLP fit fine and so did a Moroso. Never had great luck with the filter staying ont K&N so we no longer recomend those

I finally went to a SSEFI full 3in system 9in double cone filter Now My MAP barely moves at WOT

running the Moroso here too for now until the SuperVic gets here but with the universal Griffin radiator I had to customize the Moroso where it bends on the bottom due to the radiator inlet outlet being swapped from stock, otherwise everything works fine, you might just have work with moving the radiator to the passenger side to help clear everything if it's a "direct-fit" type. Hard to tell without pics what all isn't fitting.

ill get some pics of it but i couldn't get the radiator to slide towards the passenger side at all. on the k&n intake there is a little inverted corner to compensate for the stock radiator, now it wont even fit down in there deep enough to get to that point because the big *** brake deal behind it is in the way, its pinched between the two and sticks up 2 inches above the top of the fender. its hard to explain without pics, ill get some asap.

but some of you guys are running the moroso with a large radiator?
