B&M also makes the B&M 70297, it has a thermo and fan.. Works great and for racing it's even better...

Where did you mount yours? I have a 70298 (7.5"x10" version) that I'm still debating where to install.

you could mount it on the back of the frt bumper sup below hood latch.just position low for air flo and offset to clear windshield washer tank.or do what i did and remove washer tank and replace it with smaller one or none at all.this looks factory when done and cools good imo.

I thought about doing this but I'd most likely have to scrap my SSRA. Not the end of the world but I'd like to keep it... I originally considered putting it in the space behind the pass. front turn signal where it could draw air through the vent below it. Not sure it would be very efficient as it's pretty tight in there. Running the lines to it may be a hassle too.

I put it right in front of the condenser. tight fit but it worked great, also I ran a 4400 stlh. my temps ran very hot before, but after they stayed while running 180 to 190....
