2 things, maybe frank will chime in

other day a guy comes in with he ls1 cam plus n20 car, semi gutted i guess, has no 3-4 gears...so we send it back to the builder and the stall to have it checked and redone. lucking it had a 1 yr warranty and they fixed it but said they wouldent do it again. evidently the 24000 gvw cooler isnt big enough for a 4000 stall, and doing burnouts ruined it. i guess that means my cpt tranny wont last doing all these burnouts at the track(sarcastic)

i also wanted to say it wasnt the brightest but last night i ran our shops tt 350z, made 440 hp 2 times, from 40-115 i put about 3 cars on him, then i guess my bottle psi dropped some from 40 again to about 150-160 we were next and neck, i started pulling in 4th from 130-155ish
weird thing to look down and know your in 4th about to touch 6500-6700

good thing is i know that my tranny will be perfectly fine! thanks frank!!!

Daniel,
Sounds like your friend is getting fed a bunch of BS. Is he running his cooler "in series"? Is it also still running through the factory cooler? If so, a 24,000 GVW cooler should be fine, as long as it's flowing good. Is it a "stacked plate" or "tube and fin" cooler? The T&F coolers aren't very efficient. The SP coolers are much better. B&M coolers are SP design.
You've got our number, if your buddys trans goes again. We don't build excuses...We just build the best transmissions on the planet.

Thanks,
Frank
