Add a fan to my trans cooler or buy a new cooler with a fan?
My trans temps seem to hit 200-210 periodically while at the track. I currently run a pretty big B&M cooler without a fan.... and a 4L80e with CircleD 4300 stall.
Ive made up my mind.... I want a fan... should I just add one or ditch this one and go with one that comes with a fan?
What CFM should I look for? I see a lot of 7" fans that should work but are only 400 or so CFM. I see some coolers with the fans that are 900 CFM... is that overkill? Im leaning towards just adding one... but want to know if 400 CFM will get the job done.
Im running at PINKS next month and would like to get this done before then.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

If you can fit a fan in there that is definitely a plus. my cooler fan combo would not fit in there cuz the center support behind the washer bottle but I have a trans am and my cooler is massive. i bought an inline thermostat too and my fittings on the cooler were the an screw in type. with all those conections it was almost as wide as the condenser. If you get a fan in there i recommend a thermostat, 180, to activate the fan. cuz I have a feeling next to the radiator it might run more often.
