Question What trans cooler do I need?

I've read around some and seems like it's generally accepted to run one in front of the radiator with fins even with radiator fins if not using an additional fan. What is a good brand to do that? Do the permacool cooler's on texas speed's website run that way? I'm not set on those or anything just seemed good since they're advertised as not taking up a lot of space.

I have the supercooler and it's awesome. My temps stay between 125 and 135 driving around town and highest I've seen in 2 track outtings with it has been upper 170's.

Which size? And did you run it just however the directions say or did you do anything different? In the sticky performabuilt says they prefer to bypass the radiator

The supercooler is only one size. It's biggest b&m makes I'm pretty sure. I mounted it to my Mwc bumper support and its right behind the front license plate filler. My car was originally m6 so I am not going thru the radiator. Personally, I wouldn't route it thru the radiator regardless. But everyone has their own opinion on that.
