It's needed if you are running 17" or larger tires.

you can get a brand new one from B&M for 20 bucks. its a auto tranny cooler but it doubles as a PS cooler. plus you get a warrenty.

I have a Z28 and my PS cooler runs through the lower radiator hose... I would think that would be enough, right? It's compact, lightweight, minimum tubing and won't cut down on airflow accross the radiator. What kind of cooler do you have??

well the problem with a water cooled cooler, any cooler tranny, P/S, oil, whatever is if you rupture it say somthing flying in the air infront of your car and you rupture the cooler your going to get antifreeze in your P/S lines. i had that happen on a 95 ford truck. someone put an oil cooler on it water cooled and it ruptured very small and leaked antifreeze in the oil, thus blowing the engine.
