Question Transmission Cooler

I have a 3200 vig and currently have a 15,000GVW cooler on it. Would it be worth it to put another one on it and where would be the best place to place another one? The current one is placed on the top of the front facia air dam piece. I was thinking of hooking 2 in series like a 24,000 gvw or another 15,000 gvw. What do you guys think?

Thanks
Jason

Before you worry about a second cooler, check your trans temps. You may not need one.

Even in the summer heat, with my 16K cooler my trans temps never go over 200 even when beating the car, no matter what I do. Usually, they stay at 180 or less for cruising in the heat, and 17X or less on cooler days. I also have a deep pan and aggresive fan settings though...

You don't need a second cooler. I'm running a 4600 Yank in my car with a 24,000 cooler and I'm seeing temps of 180 or below with all in town driving. Use that money to buy a Tranny temp gauge.
