Cam - I got a stainless heat shield over the headers. The cooler is bolted to a thick plate which is bolted to the main frame that is holding the heat shield. Its basically double insulated. Sure the cooler wont escape every degree of temperature that rises, but its doing a pretty good job as it is.

If I was to relocate the cooler to the battery area as you mention, I would need a different cooler type. More pipe work, more cost, not much extra gain.

The breathing is the weakest link at the moment. The car is trying to exhale thru a straw. So I need to get a 3" mandrel system made up.

Sorry to go OT fellas.

If you wanna know more, post in my build thread or PM me.
