help me settle the cooler debate Plus trans update
Like a couple people I saw, I run two B&M 24Ks through the OEM cooler. In 100+* stop-and-go I haven't seen much more than 180*, if that. I don't see it go higher at the track.
I have mine set up where they hang off the back side of the front bumper bar, where the washer reservoir used to be. I pulled the reservoir off (and relocated it behind and below the drivers side headlamp,) and removed all the plastic baffling from in front of the condensor/radiator. Removing that stuff allows for a lot more flow around and through the coolers (not to mention the condensor/radiator) and even allows air to be pulled through the holes I cut into the bumper absorber in front of the coolers, where the OEM grille holes are. Doing all this not only helped my tranny temps', but also lowered my coolant temps'. I've been using gauges to verify these changes on my car so I could remain objective.

I got it from 
:transmissioncenter.net:and actually have 2 of these "level 3 raptors" One thats sitting in the garage in pieces from the previous owner which lasted (no joke) 3 days. He got fed up and sold it to me....so I bought an identical one to the one he had and it lasted 1100 miles. Pretty sure I will not be going through them anymore.
One the other hand,
PERFORMABUILT will 100% get my business when I can figure out how to sneak the money for a 4l80e out of the wife's joint account without her knowing!!!.....

going to go look for it today....the temp gauge and cooler that is
WEBSY21: I have mine set up the same way do. Removed the washer tank and got it to fix dead center under the hood latch perfectly. I had to do it because of the SLP ram air scoop thats covering the rad....the ram air might have to go if I can't find a place to mount my new monster 28,000 gvw cooler
Transmission is back together and waiting to go in until I get the cooler and wire up a new trans temp gauge/put drain plug in drain pan ect.
Will let you know what happens when It goes back in
