Default tranny cooler with FTRA

What have you guys done for a tranny cooler that also have the fast toys ram air kit installed. I currently have a b&m 24k kit, that will either need to be relocated or replaced with another cooler. My thought is to get a different cooler that is thin enough to slide in (the 1" gap) between my ac condenser and my radiator. My b&m is 1.5" thick which will not fit and I have not come up with a better idea or place to put it where it will get good airflow through it.

Can anyone here help me out?

Thanks in advance

I did mine "dope style." My brother had room to the right (pass side) for his, we both have FTRA and the 24K.

I don't quite understand what you mean by "dope style". Can you explain what you mean or post a picture.

the size of the cooler i use is .75" thick. and thats all you really need. as of right now i am installing the super sucker ram air and this scoop angles away from the radiator so you will not run into that problem. is is abs plastic also so the it wont absorb heat. if you want to stay with a bigger cooler you might want to consider looking at this system. if not you will have to get a smaller cooler.

theres an idea but its to bad the fan will not be blowing on it. i can see the reason for a larger cooler for that kind of installation. also if you spend most of the time driving on the high way its a good way to do it.
