Default Tranny cooler question

I have a B&M cooler that I bought from Summit. The part number is BMM-70264. Summit claims that the dimensions are 6x11x1.5. My question is where can I find an electric fan to attach to the cooler so that the tranny temps will be cooler? I can't mount the cooler to the radiator because I have the ssra. I have noticed since I moved the cooler from the radiator that it is running hotter. Any help??

Is the ssra similiar to the Fast toys ram air?
If so, my tranny cooler fit snug to the left of the FTRA

Ya its similar i guess, that just seems like it doesnt leave hardly any air flow to the radiator. Does anyone know of an electric fan that fits on this cooler??

If I do it that way would it help at all to do a fan on it as well?

That's totally up to you, but I'm sure the fan will help. Some people actually run two coolers on their cars. I see alot of people though happy with "dope" style mounting and say their tranny temps are kept down.

Hope that help!

Question, after thinking about this a little is it good to have the fan hardwired? At highway speeds wont it hurt air flow more than help?
