Adverb placement is flexible, but just after the first auxiliary (and modals are auxiliaries) is usually the safest place to put them.

You would really do that? / I would even try ... / She has really tried ... / He could even do that.

will is a modal verb, so what I wrote above applies to will as well. Use the same patterns for will.

I will definitely go.
