Question T56 to th400 swappers---which trans cooler to go with?

I am in the process of swapping my t56 to a th400 and need to know which trans cooler to go with. I am going with a 4000-4200 stall 9" converter so I need something that can cool the trans for 80 mile trips or so. I have the m6 radiator so it will be an independent cooler that I go with. I was thinking about running 2 spearate trans coolers and mount them in front of my radiator but need suggestions. How do the coolers with their own fan work? I will be mounting it in front of the radiator no matter which cooler I go with. I have no A/C or bumper supports so It should be able to flow plenty of air to it. Which trans coolers did you guys go with? Any tips or suggestions?
Thanks
Matt

i went from a t56 to a th400 for this year. its really expensive, but i LOVE my Art Carr tranny cooler (the REAL art carr in california BTW). it cost $180, but it is really small and doesnt take up much radiator space which is nice since we dont have much space as it is. i have a 4200 stall converter, and just a stock capacity stamped steel pan, and my temps dont get over 125-130 on the street even beating on the car. at the track when i do back to back passes the tranny only gets up to 150. definitly worth the extra $$$

I use a Perma Cool #12311, with 10" 10-blade fan. $132 from JEG's. It is mounted up inside the front fender, where some people put the filter for their CAI. Fine for street and strip.

Thanks for the replies guys, I appreciate the info. I think I'm going to go with the Perma cooler that Injuneer has. It seems to be compact and has ints own fan, plus it is a lot cheaper than the Art Carr cooler. Again thanks
