Default 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.

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

The 274 will mount on the condenser. I recommend it for stock front ends. It will cool well.
