Yes, what he said. Don't want to wipe out my Billet 80e and get trans fluid all through my new motor. Mainly I wanted more cooling, it's very hilly in western pa and when my temps go up and down at highway speed based on hills I want more cooling. Nothing durastic but they would oscillate here on the highway. Then I go out to Ohio where it's flat and they are steady

Granted that's when it's hot, when it's 90 here and 95% humidity things get warm. I know it's not Texas heat but the humidity is a bitch. I've been all around the world and I'll take dry heat over humidity any time.

Thanks. I was determined to come up with something going into this project and it worked out good. I like the end result. Not much room with the TVS.

Everybody knows that you don't want to finish so you'll never have to get it dirty.
