trans cooler question
I am hoping to get headers and a stall installed soon. With the stall I want to do a trans cooler and have seen a couple different options (below). What makes one better then the other?
http://www.phastekperformance.com/20...ion-cooler.htm http://admperformance.com/products.p...62&product=245 Trying to figure out which one to go with. Obviously if the cheaper one is sufficient I would like to go that route. Next year I would like to cam the car, it will not see much track time. |

IMO, I would go with the larger one from ADM! The other one just looks too small. 30 or 40 degree drop in temp is a big difference and I plan on installing one of these in the future! Good luck with whichever you choose!

ok I am not sure on the brand of this one (this is the shop that will be doing my install) http://www.fast-motorsports.net/Prod...NSCOOLERMAGCAM
Seems very similar to the adm one. With avoiding shipping costs this one is $5 cheaper then the adm one. $5 isn't going to do anything but it looks similar to me. |

That $5 looks like it has quite a performance difference. ADM = 30-40* lower Fast Motorsports = 20-25* lower Conclusion.. bad move. |

Interesting claims and I am not one to dispute. My 'normal' temperature (before mods) was around 180 and i live in Fla. So the 30 - 40 degree drop will be from that? Pretty hefty - which is outstanding
I dont have a benchmark as I fitted the B&M supercooler 70298 after high stall TC and CAM, i am running a shade under 180 - TBH, i thought it would be a wee bit cooler. I have bypassed the rad, so not in line.

Check us out
http://pcmofnc.com/index.php?option=...169&Itemid=106 The cooler is located in a prime high pressure zone in the lower grill. We have one in the 418 F1R 4l80 car we built and the trans temp always stays in check. |

The fast motorsports one says typically 20-25 lower and has seen close to 50. They could of easily said "proven to lower up to 50) if it has lowered one car that much.
