Just about any of them will be fine. It depends on what you want to spend. B&M makes a good one that is fir on the pocket book. Check with Thunder Racing and Tbyrne . I have a Hayden cooler on my truck.

I have the B&M one. Cost me $50 and it's well worth it
Easy install too.

I bought a B&M one that was recommended to me by Allen over the Flex-a-lite coolers.He had betetr resilts with the B&M 70264 but any cooler is better than stock or none at all!

get one that doesn't have that big tube snaking back and forth. get the ones that have a lot of little passage ways (think B&M makes it) and get a really really big one

How do these affect your line pressures? I see how it would effectively cool better but, wouldn't it also cause some restriction probs?

What's wrong with the tube snaking back and forth? Pressure drop, or just asthetics? I bought a PermaCool 17000GVW cooler that has that design, just needs a coat of flat black paint. Haven't installed it yet though, still in package. I've bought some other stuff from B&M through the years, with good and bad results. If the B&M cooler is proven good, maybe I'll return my PermaCool for a B&M.

I have the B&M Supercooler 24,000. It easily mounts to the crossbars in front of the radiator, and the hoses install cleanly. I would definitely recommend it.

Id imagine it has less of a pressure drop due to the hydrolic diameter being bigger but also keep in mind the difference in surface area. They really dont disapate that much heat compared to the thin tube style for oils and liquids in general
