I remember one guy on LS1.com mounted his flat at one side in front of the air dam (I think it must have been where the front light access panels are). He had good pictures of the install and it looked like what I would do if I ever install a cooler with my FTRA.

Dave the FTRA will not work for your SS. Do not put it on. I will pay Jason off so he does not put it on your SS. I'm tired of having to catch you and this will just make things harder for me. J/K

Check out Dope's site. This is the exact place I have mine..I also got the idea from him <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0"> . The install was very simple & straightforward.

Thanks guys for the help, I'm sure one of the two setups will work for me, I'll probably use whichever one ends up looking easiest! <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

Tony - not gonna work buddy, you wont be catching me quite as easily up top anymore! <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

There was one guy who did this setup over on ls1.com I think and his air dam/deflecter thing, whatever it's called that hangs down below the car underneath, started bending, he had some pics of it too.

Default Tranny Cooler Placement + FTRA! Help!

I have a 19,000GVW B&M Supercooler and it's currently sitting on my AC Condenser, well I have been wanting to for a while, and finally got around to ordering the FTRA... surely the tranny cooler placement will conflict with the FTRA... is anyone else running this setup? How did you get it to work? Where did you mount the cooler!?
