    I have one....but it is in the box on the shelf b/c I couldn't find a place to mount it that I was happy with. I don't want it to be seen.
    I have heard of people mounting them under the dash up high?????

    Mine is where the battery tray once was, easy to replace the RPM chips.

    mine is on the drivers side, on the front fender inside the engine compartment. MSD says to keep them away from heat. But since mine is only running for short periods of time, I figure it dosen't hurt. Can't keep it away from heat in AZ. anyway.:)

    Where my windshield washer reservoir should be. Don't want that ugly thing on this car. Here's a recent pic I took before the radiator change. :)

    Mine's directly behind the motor,just underneath the gutter where the shock tower braces bolt up.The gutter keeps it dry,mine is just a 6A,so it doesn't have the removable chips.

    Same here, I figure air flow is good with the vents in the core support there.
