Oh one more ....placing cooler at front inside trunk. Have shroud. CAn I exit air through inner fender wells ( I know I will need holes in side of shroud and ducting ......or is there a better plan.

Andy,
I am actually considering re-routing my oil cooler hot air out into the fender wells. Think about it: right now, we vent HOT air UNDER the car, not very aerodynamic, huh? I know at high speed, I can feel the front lift a bit... plus, all 911's have the oil coolers in the front of the fender wells, meaning they are venting the warm air onto the brakes/wheels. But lets be honest, 200 degree air is actually cool compared to the brake temps, and a little extra heat on the tires will get some extra grip sooner IMO. |

plus, all 911's have the oil coolers in the front of the fender wells Huh? Hanging around new cars too much? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) We run a center mounted front cooler on the 911 ('78) that vents under the car. But we do have a really low valance to minimize air getting under the car. We tried the fender coolers, but that didn't work at all for us. The rules for GTS and SP911 do not allow for hood vented coolers, otherwise that's what we would run.
