What size Trans cooler?

Vehicle is a 98 Camaro with an ls3, th400 w/ ptc 4k stall and a ford 9" w/ 4.10 gears. Car is near full weight. Wanted to see what size coolers everyone is running. Plan on doing small drives with the car still.

No air can really get to it I would mount a electric fan to it if you go that rout, I would put it up in the air dam

The fan will come in handy on hot days in stop and go traffic especially with a higher stall

quick question regarding this

Im picking up the 70274 ( 29k btu ) and was wondering since its much larger than the 70264 ( 14,400 btu ) what is the best way to mount it? Ive seen alot of people mount the 70264 dope style on the passanger side, or in the a/c condenser area, and was wondering if the 70274 can be mounted there as well
