Be Cool makes one but it's a little on the pricey side, I think like $600. What you really need to check is your oil temp. Before I put an oil cooler in my 408 the temps were at 270* when I got on it.

Here is a link to a thread that might be helpful. Radiator thread.

I'm running a BeCool Radiator and loving it. I'll have to find the paperwork but I believe this radiator can support 700+ hp with the proper fans in place.

Thanks.

I haven't even thought of checking the oil temp. That's probably not a bad idea. Who makes a good kit for the trans am - oil cooler?
