Ok.... Where is the best place to vent the air in a fron t mounted cooler? The factory dumped it under the car. Is this the best place? What are the pros and cons?

I would guess that the effect of the additional hot air from the cooler under the car is negligible. The cooling air for the engine is drawn in from the engine lid, where it is relatively cool, and discharged from the bottom of the engine. This is where the majority of engine cooling occurs. Although the engine sump is finned I would bet its cooling contribution is very small, compared to the forced air cooling of the cylinders and heads, so an increase in under car temp due to the oil cooler air won't make much difference.
