cooler placement
even though the air flow is most up front, where else do can we put additional oil and tranny coolers. is there a problem with running a pair of 10x12" coolers where the spare tire used to be with an electric fan on them? why not blow off all that heat and at the same time add volume to the systems?

Yes, a smart person would place a cooler in back like real race cars do. I wouldn't run two coolers. The additional volume is miniscule.
This is the B&M tranny cooler U use with my 1/2 inch inner diameter teflon SS hoses made up by a hydraulic shop. I bought tranny cooler from Summit Racing.

That's the same cooler I use on my race car. One for oil another for trans. I have the oil cooler mounted up front. The trans cooler is mounted in back underneath the fuel cell. I have an 8" fan mounted on the rear cooler. Works great.
