So, fellow Trans am owners, is there anything I should know about keeping the car cool with a 3 speed auto? Was hitting 200 last night with a 165 stat, factory fan and a pusher that is 14" on the front of the Trans cooler.

My camaro with the t56 worked great with a stock radiator, same fan. I knew the added RPM may be a issue so I got the champion aluminum 3 core. Was ok cruising at 60, but at 75 and 3200 rpm it was at 200 and not liking it.

I want to look at the twin setup Matt has, but the sealed front end on the TA is a real killer for us.

Cannot imagine the lack of cooling it will have with the 4.30s, still has 3.23 right now.

ls1 Camaro fans will solve your issue.

^^^exactly what I was going to use but got the 300zx fan assembly for free. I used an ls1 fan on my moms bird and it keeps it nice and cool, but running an OD trans in it.

lt1 fans look the same to me and would probably cost half as much since they arent associated with "LS1". lol

I was thinking a 93-02 setup, found one on eBay I am looking at.

Ls1 fans with shroud really helped my car but it stilll runs 200 in the warm days. I need an oil cooler i think but a strong fan with a shroud is the key to getting air thru rad. Then look into modding the air dam to force more air up into the engine bay nose. Maybe make a plastic extension on the air dam. I may try doing this on mine to help with airflow even tho its a maro not a bird, they still breath mainly thru the bottom

^ The airdam is a huge key to sorting out the cooling system with the closed nose. Gotta keep the hot air from re-circulating back in front.

I have a metal air dam I made that extends a but lower than stock, maybe a half inch. I was thinking of using a spring setup to pull it forward so at speed it is not flexed back. That and the fans will hopefully solve my issue.
