I have been very impressed with Jan and RMW.
Have always been kept informed.
Very professional.

Looking forward to more news, but not the temptation I will have to deal with...

All I can mention that is on/off topic is Jan returned a call to me on a Saturday while he was at the track regarding a question on a cam install. The cam had a manufacturing defect (Bolt hole had something in it so bolt would not go all the way in). A new cam was 2nd day aired to me and the defective one returned at no cost to me. He has always gotten back to me and I never felt that he didn't care about my stupid questions. It is only my one experience, but for me, customer service has been great.

I'm looking forward to seeing him in person this year at the East coast tune party 2011.

Best things about the RMW site is the phone number and pay pal link. The site is just part of the Revolution mystique ...

Shoot him a PM or better yet, give him a call!

Maybe it could be due to no place in the front because of rotrex intercooler.

Also it could be transmission intercooler!!

oil cooler because of the very large front mount intercooler
there was no other place to put it as the rotrex oil cooler is in the front and at $100 per bottle of oil its better to buy extra engine oil

THE BEST POSSIBLE PLACE would be in the front, only an idiot would put in the back if you have space in the front

Hmmm, I wonder who that might be referring to?

Also, very effective looking diffuser, that has got to make a difference.

So as you are showing a FAN ASSISTED cooler, why would it matter where it is located?

Have any technical info on cooler placement?

I don't know how far his car as come along As he lives in a different part of the country as me, so?? Since he can't post here... I'm sure he has thought of ALL the possible side effects of the placement though
