Default Is this cooler enough?

I'm gettin ready to put a fully race built Turbo 400 trans in my car in the next couple of weeks and was wondering if this cooler will be enough to keep it cool:

B&M SuperCooler from Summit

BMM-70264 24,000 GVW, 11 in. x 6 in. x 1 1/2 in., transmission cooler $49.95

Will that do the job by itself or am I going to need to put a fan on it? Cuz it is my daily and is going to be driven a lot, so I wanna keep it cool so it doesn't die on me! If I need a fan, what fan should I get, how much is it, and where can I get it from? Thanks in advance for any help guys, this board is great and i've gotten lots of helpful info from it, keep it comin!

Mount it on the condensor and you'll be fine. With a 160 T-stat and lower fan settings (and when the A/C is running), you'll pull plenty of air through it in town and be fine on the highway.

Will it still pull plenty of air w/o the A/C runnin, cuz I don't use the A/C much? And also, I don't have a 160 T-stat, but do have the fans set lower cuz of the cam. Does it normally get mounted on the condenser or somewhere else, cuz i'm not goin to be doin the install and if it'll fair better mounted on the A/C condenser, i'll let the shop know to mount it there. Thanks for the info man!

That is the cooler that I am running. I read a thread not to long back that gave exact temps of before and after the cooler, try and do a search for it. You will be fine.

Sweet!!! I'll also be gettin a tranny temp gauge, but don't have the money to get it right away, so I just wanted to make sure that I wouldn't be overheating it w/o me knowing while I don't have the gauge!
