Randy, a word of caution for Farn-Loles: DO NOT INSTALL A SECOND OIL TO AIR COOLER IN THE DRIVER"S SIDE AIR DUCT OF THE CAR. This is a world wide design issue that several of us have found at our own trouble when we set up the cars to run at the track. The proximity of the second cooler to the fuel tank will bring the fuel to boil and cause a vapor lock in the fuel system until liquid cool down if the second cooler is placed in this specific location. There is no defence/shielding/ducting against this failure and several of us went to great pain to discover this fact. Search the Noble forum for alternatives (oil to water, front placement secondary oil to air, hybrid coolant system) if you are wanting to go with a second cooler. Thought this might help in case your tuner is not familiar with the cars. Call us if you need further info, pm. me and Ill give you our # if you need it.
