Default Transmission Cooler Question

Curious were to put the transmission cooler since I have the Slp Flowpac with the ram air duct, and didn't know if I would have room for it up front there. Also any tips or things I need to know about installing this on my 2000Camaro with the 4L60E. Reason I am installing the cooler is because I'm installing a 3600 stall as well.

Yer welcome. I've also seen them mounted by the back bumper and under the passenger compartment.

Ok quick question about your torque converter bolts, reuse, or replace, and if replacing use factory replacement gm or arp?

I just reused mine with no issues... Just use some lock-tite and snug them down and your good to go.

If I were you, I would run the tranny fluid thru the stock cooler then run it thru the aftermarket one. The stock cooler will cool it some, then the aftermarket cooler cools it even more.
