Could possibly mount it down in the bumper vent...
although if you do mount it in that gap between condenser and radiator it may possibly increase the efficiency of your fans. I could be wrong though.

Just wondering why you didn't go with upgraded rod bolts while the pan was off?

To be honest I didn't think of that I had a machine shop just fresh it up with rings and bearings months ago

Need some opinions on water/meth injection kits I have been looking into AEM Kits 30-3300
because of my higher compression of the lq9 thats at 10:1 along with 10lb of boost on 91-93 pump gas would this be a good idea and what would be the HP typical gains if I add this?

yeah do a meth kit I'm running a 10:5:1 6.0 with 12lbs runs like a champ with 18* timing up top and i plan on going up to 14lbs or 15lbs soon

I'm running a alky control meth kit with a single 10GPH nozzle
