Trans Cooler
I am going to be racing a small block s-10 with a powerglide next year and was wondering if I am going to need to use a trans cooler? I will be mostly racing 1/8 mile and some 1/4 mile, but no street use. Any input would be great. Thanks

Well if it's in the radiator, it can only cool to the temp of the water returning to the engine. If it's in the front it's getting cooler air. If you use both inline find the cooler line that is sending it back to the tranny, route that 1 to the air cooler up front and then back to the return line. If not your not gaining much.

In my opinion a must have for any tranny with a brake. Also remember they say every 20* tempurature drop in your tranny will double the life of it. Heat is the #1 Killer in an automatic tranny..
