Transmission catch can placement

[Ronald Urquhart]

My setup is like Ken's, never had a problem when I ran the 400 trans with the 200 I'll lose a little. Most stk and ss don't use trans coolers so that fluid can get hot in the later rds.

THIS statement says it all Garret and it's the reason why you shouldn't ask a stock/super stock racer advice on this topic.

That said, bracket races are typicaIly same day events, 2 time shots within a few hours of each other and go racing with the late rounds running minutes apart unlike Divisional and National events. Further, I double enter every big $ gambler race I enter as do many of my competitors, running minutes apart every round in eliminations. If I/they ain't puking fluid, you, test/tuning should never be puking fluid.

A good cooler and synthetic fluid is all you need. Matter of fact I don't use an aftermarket external cooler, rather I use the cooler in the OE radiator.

Ed do you own a stocker or super stocker?
Do you know why Stockers and super stockers run no cooler?
40Coupe came here because he wants info from those who Walk the Walk, and Talk the Talk...not someone who can Rap the Crap.

As they say...(paraphrased)...talk to your self cause the screen ain't listening...you have officially been added to my ignore list.

40 couple has asked several questions on this forum where stock/super stock racers advice is applicable but this topic it is not. 40 couple is NOT a class racer and for that matter not a bracket racer either. IF he built his trans correctly(yes he builds his own), runs an adequate cooler, he should never have a concern about puking fluid, no mind if he runs synthetic trans fluid. Why he would plug the stock vent and relocate it is a matter of following someone's, in this case bad advice. Had he not, he wouldn't be "struggling with an inconspicuous clean looking place to mount" a catch can.

Hey this ignore thing is great...his lips are moving and I hear nothing.
