trans cooler question

[steveo9043]

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://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.

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 adm one says proven to lower 30-40. That doesn't say on every car. I was looking for a disclaimer saying (results not typical) lol kind of like those diet pill commercials. It seems like a big drop!

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.
