im getting ready to setup my car for my automatic trans. im looking for trans coolers. i was looking at this one but i think it might be alittle to overkill.

my rad does not have a trans cooler built into it. would i be better off with just a regular trans cooler or should i get the one above. let me know what you think

Re: is this trans cooler to overkill for me

can't go wrong with those...I run the largest TCI cooler on mine with no fan, but this year I'll add the temp guage and probably run a fan on mine as well.

There's no such thing as overkill for a trans cooler.

The cooler, the better!!

The bigger, the cooler!!

Re: is this trans cooler to overkill for me

If the kit doesn't come with a relay, you can always buy one from your local parts store. I like the M-55 relay that is a GP sorenson or however it's spelled from my local stores, the relay even has a mounting tab with hole for a screw on the top of the relay.
