I have a stock stall and end of last summer I was reading 180s highest trans temp off the pcm with a 14400 btu cooler bypassing stock cooler. Im wondering what the typical increase in temp will be with an ss3600 stall?
I realise that the change in temp will be due to how much im driving around unlocked but whats the typical temp increase?

Mine has a stacked plate cooler, in normal cool-70s weather it will stay around 150-160* highway, starts to go up if I beat on it a lot...never over 210-220 even in 100*+ temps though.

So what do you think the increase would be for me? Im worried this cooler wont be enough. Its the biggest you can get dopestyle. From what everyone else says they get 160sf mostly but with my experience thats not the case.

I have the b&m 70264 and I drove mine around in stop and go traffic checking my temps with a scanner. Drove it for aout 15 mins getting on it pretty good, with it unlocked the whole time and the highest it got was 169. Im going to do some more checking on it tommarow with a scanner again and I will let you know more. Mine is a 3400 so it is pretty close.

What kind of weather are you in?
Before I put the car away couple weeks ago, it was 20f-30f and temps were 130s mixed driving. I have same cooler as you.

The day I tested it, it was about 60 degrees

That seems to be consistant with mine without a stall.

I have the same trans cooler mounted on the condenser in front of one of the fans.
In the summer, mid 90's, it used to run over 210-220 with a loose 3600 converter.

I had the converter re-stalled a little tighter and it runs160-180 normally and 200 max, driving normal. It will go higher driving hard and unlocked.

I also have the TCC apply tuned to work like a switch controlled by the gas and brake pedals. If I'm stuck in slow traffic below lock up speed I can pull it down to 3rd, let up on the gas for a second and it will lock up because I have it set to lock up at 28 mph at 0% throttle. It unlocks when I tap the brake or shift to 4th. And it never locks up in 3rd with the shifter in 4th.

I have it tuned similiar for 4th. Normal driving is set to lock up at 50 mph, but if I'm stuck in slow traffic I can let up on the gas, hit 0% TPS and lock it up at 44 mph, which is the lowest it can lock without getting drivetrain rattle.

So why am I rambling on about lock up when you asked about trans temp?
When the TCC locks up I can actually see the gauge needle moving lower.
