Mounting Radiator with Blitz FMIC setup

I just put in my Blitz FMIC and I was wondering if there would be any issues with my radiator (fluidyne) if I mounted it vertically, every other Blitz setup I have seen has been mounted on a slant, what's the deal? Thanks in advance.

The question would be why? I'm not sure there's enough room to stand it up vertically but even if it fit, what's the point?

Leave it slanted so that the top of the radiator is very close to the top of the IC. This way you can close the gap between them (I use aluminum duct tape on the top, 2" thick foam strips on the sides and in front of the IC) to better channel the air through the radiator and not around it. If you stand it up completely vertical you'll have a huge gap at the top that you could have otherwise had sealed.

I have it set up vertical right now and dont seem to be having any fitment issues; but i forsee something bad happening when i lower the car. Also, it took about an hour to fill the radiator. For embarassment issues i will not disclose how i ended up filling it.
