I want to install front oil cooler, for a high compression 2.8.
What the best on the market?

Thanks,

Which model do you suggest?
Do you still agree to vent under the car, which seems wrong to me.
I would think out the hood would be best?

I use the DB-30416-12 (the -12 is AN IIRC)....bout 300 bucks, but that was a couple-3 years ago.

Venting? None of the above...kinda.....hay, it works.
