I have my new fuel cooler mounted on the top of the splash shield in view of the air flow from the hole in the body where you refuel the car.

I have my exhaust gas cooler mounted on the front bulkhead top plate, to also get the most air flow from just behind the front tires.

I have used these 2 coolers at the last 3 races and the results are very noticeable. I got 10:45 seconds on a tank at the Worlds, where I usually can only get 8 minutes at the Farm. At the RC Pro FL Finals at Avon Park, I was getting 8+ minutes, when I have never been able to even get 7 min before. And at the RC Pro Int Finals, I was not stopping for fuel in qualifying and still had a half a tank after the 5 min qual. That was 2 min of warmup, 5 min qualifying, plus the 1st lap before the clock, and the final lap after the clock ends. That would put me at 13+ minutes a tank. And I pitted every 9 minutes in the 45 min A-main (only 4 pit stops in 45 minutes).
