Transmission cooler for street use?
My 533 BB gets plenty of normal street use. I'm was wondering whether transmission coolor actually serves any valuable purpose in a street-only, never raced, never tracked cobra. My transmission is a built-up C6 behind a 533 BB Ford with dyno'd 640HP/Torque. I drive the car in a normal street manner with the occasional spirited acceleration and cornering. The cooler does sit in front of the bottom of the radiator, so perhaps it even compromises the engine cooling capacity - which is stretched to the max with the large engine in a small compartment on hot summer days here in California's Centra Valley. With the uses I put the car to, do I have it there for valuable function or just "cuz" that's what cobras have. I'm tempted to search for some plugs for the tranny casing and just yank the cooler altogether.
Thanks!
Dirk
