Again, both of mine fit me perfectly.

Tom may not mod his fox, but I would assume he'd know. Didn't he get a tranny cooler for his mach?

Yeah. I guess that's the same thing. Forgot he had the Mach. When I see Tom, all I can see is a 5 series Bimmer.

So I'm guessing David has T-Rex arms or sumpthin'.


You know. Short and disproportionate to his body and legs.

I think trying to add extra plumbing for an external trans cooler/filter would be overkill for what you are going for with the car. If you were going with some high revving screamer of a motor and a tranny with a really high stall in it that would see hard driving I could see it. I think a good aluminum after market radiator with a quality electric fan set up on it would be plenty. FRPP makes one for an auto, but it has plastic tanks which I don't like. Fluidyne has one with aluminum tanks for an auto, it's about $100 more than the FRPP but they make good stuff and I think it would be worth it and be plenty for the build you are going for. Just my .02

Yes you can get a radiator without a tranny cooler and get by. Running a seperate tranny cooler with an external filter is a good idea. You will then be able to place it wherever you would like or place it where it will get the most wind. The varnishing of the oil is when the oil gets too hot and old I believe. The external filter will help get the shavings and other debri not so much the varnishing. Just have to remember to keep the extra lines away form the exhaust or it will do no good.

I hope this answers it a lil better.

It does. Thank you.

I'm getting a 130 amp alternator for stereo reasons and as a result I also want to do away with the stock fan and fan clutch and get either a large thermostatically controlled single or double electric fan for the radiator too.

My ultimate goal is to get the Trick Flow StreetBurner combo and be done.


That's all the power I'm looking for for this car. Between that setup, the LT headers with off-road h pipe, underdrive pulleys, BBK fender CAI, C&L 73mm MAF housing, and a 70mm throttle body and I'm good to go.

Why not try for a X-pipe instead of an off-road H pipe?? Just curious.

Just because that's what I already got waiting to go in. That's what was cheap and went with the LT's I got.

Plus having the x-pipe in the 2007 (I know a completely different engine and exhaust setup) I like the h-pipe sound a little better from what I have been able to hear over the years in person. I can always change it later I guess.
