I have to go back over this thread and see what you have but you should be well under that, again mine was less then 2850 with me in it and I am over 200# myself, so you should easily be sub 2800 without you...

We will see in about 2 weeks or so. My trans should be here by next week then its jsut a matter of putting it back together. If its like 2900 with me in it i will be happy but sub 2850 would be sweeeeeet!!!

[QUOTE=3rdgen92maro;11838675]The new B&M trans cooler. Anybody got any good ideas on how to mount it?
[QUOTE]
Sell it and use the tranny cooler in the radiator, water cools better than air anyway. Plus its lighter.
If your sold on using it mount it on the floor underneath the car near the tranny for drag use,.

best of luck to ya, BTW, I have a similar external Trans cooler that I have installed in front of my rad, it loops through the factory cooler then out into the external, tranny's hate heat so I thought it was the best way to go...

Im trying to decide if i want to ditch the wipers or not. What do you guys think? The car really wont be driven in the rain or on the street much for that matter other then the 1 mile trip to work.
