Automatic Transmission Cooling

Real world story;
I was at Atlanta Dragway on a hot humid night years ago, running a friend's SBC, PG Camaro. He had a trans temp guage and no cooler, and it was staying around 200 * . I was going rounds , with not much time in between. In the semi's I couldn't run the dial and lost. The car didn't spin, so I looked at the gauges, and the trans was at 240.

I always put a cooler up front on my Stockers. You spend so g.d. much money on them anyway, why not?

Bottom line: I'd listen to Myron or anyone else here who goes many late rounds in hot, humid weather.
