I'll give this one a try since the install is easy and the factory one seemed to hold up OK.

You can also set-up a pusher fan for the cooler for some extra air flow. It's easy to do. For autocross, I spray the cooler with cold water b/w runs.

I would do the listed B&M cooler well before I rigged up a fan. That thing is nice, just requires a slight amount of fab work, extra 20 minutes, vs the other cooler.

A lot of people who tow with Tahoe's (what I tow with), use the B&M with a pusher for the trans....it is the same thing essentially.

I received and installed the Derale 13200 today. For $31.59 shipped from Amazon it was too hard to pass up. My hope is between the bigger cooler and the Amsoil ATF the fliud won't boil like it was at the drift practice yesterday.

I think 1/2 NPT , running barbed fittings now, need to swap to AN later. You have to cut thebOEM hard lines to do this.
