yeah but it looks like you dont even have a stall. A big stall converter like mine adds ALOT of heat.

well i saw no real temp difference on the gauge. it did take longer to get hot though which is good. I really dont think this gauge is accurate. It says the temp is getting to 200 degrees, but i can touch my hand to the pan and its only warm....if it was 200 I shouldnt be able to even touch the pan i would think

I need to look into getting a gauge to keep track of my temps. I'm putting in a SS4000 in a few weeks. Is the 24,000 GVW B&M Supercooler BM70264 going to be enough to keep things cool? Thats what I ordered since it was the biggest avaliable from the sponsor I bought the stall from.

^^^i ran the 264 cooler for a long time on a 3200. I installed a trans gauge from day 1 so I have always known my temps.

OP, you have a gauge issue for sure.

Yeah I know. Its an Autometer gauge which are suppose to be good gauges. I am gonna try to find someone else with a tranny gauge I can borrow for a day and see if its any different. Also got to thinking. what size line are you running for the cooler?
