Im looking to get a tranny cooler for my 4R70W (seeing as how hard I am on the thing). In looking through Summit's website, they have DOZENS of them and I have no idea what to look for.

Hayden Automotive vs. Flex-A-Lite

....and a WHOLE lot of sizes.

Can someone help me out?

Here's the one that I have on mine B&M 70264 - B&M SuperCooler Oil Coolers - Overview - SummitRacing.com . It's worked perfectly for the last couple of years.

The important thing is to get this design, and not one of the older plate and fin set ups (these disperse heat better, or so I'm told).

Lol, that's huge, nice. I'm thinking about switching to two smaller ones situated behind the fog lights since my heat exchanger is going where my trans cooler is now.
