Ouch. Not near as hot here where I live, at the hottest it may get mid 90s.....100 every now and then. Which in that case, I probably would drive the daily. If you plan to drive in that heat then you MIGHT need two coolers. I guess you will just have to check your temps and see.

So far, the choices I have are between a Yank SS3600, or a CircleD HP 3200 (if I couldn't pay for the Yank, I think that's the second best?).

I also want to install the Derale 15950 cooler, a Magnefine filter, and the Derale cooling pan #14204.

I know I'm probably going overkill with transmission that'll sit behind a stock LS1 (bought the most expensive kit from Dana, Pro Street Elite), but I don't have money to get a new car in the near future, and I don't want to get a used crap like Toyota or Honda. So all I can do is fix what I have right now and live with it for a while.
Yank SS3600 & Circle D 278mm HP 3200 ARE NOT comparable products, Comparing a 9.5" converter to a 11" converter is apples & oranges! Far different than the 400 RPM advertised stall speed difference would indicate.

Yes, I do realize the differences​ between the two converters. But I chose this one because it​ may be the best I can get for that price. At least I think so from what I've learned so far.
