Ed, ATI has their own synthetic fluid. Jim has been after me to try some, I've been testing other stuff, I can't give it an honest fair back to back test.

The way I look at this is from my own personal experience.
If you don't plan on going quick, back to back late rounds, either in S/SS or bracket racing, then you probably won't need an auxiliary trans cooler.

Mark, I like your comment and agree. I see no down side to running a cooler and you point out one very positive advantage.

I should add that my car is street legal and will drive to the track as well as run in either GT/ or bracket. Therefore I run a cooler with braided line and -AN fittings. I don't drink beer so I plan to spend as much time as possible with my right foot to the floor.

Personal observation - Any advantage in my case is nullified by my huge swings in reaction times lol. When I go rounds it is usually due to dumb luck on my part or incredible bad luck by my opponents.

We have an in-tank trans cooler (water to oil) in our radiator. I like it because it puts heat in the transmission faster than if we were just using an auxiliary cooler under normal operating conditions. The in-tank cooler is more efficient and cools better than an auxilary mounted cooler.

Tony,
I "think" the radiator only cooler has the "potential" to maintain a consistent trans fluid temp. Not to say that temp would or would not be ideal but it would be consistent. Some things to consider with the subject of trans coolers: In my opinion, we as racers, can benefit by planning to be in the final at each race we enter. By having a trans cooler of some type we have the potential to keep trans temps under control in the late, quick rounds.
