Hi guys, this probably isn't the right section but i'll ask anyways. My motor in my mustang is a 302, mild cam, holley 600, edelbrock performer manifold, extractors, dual 2 1/4" exhaust and electronic ignition. Anyway I'm going to get my c4 rebuilt with a stage 2 shift kit and 2200 stally, my question is will i need or is it a good idea to get a transmission cooler aswell? I'm pretty clueless on this and just after some thoughts at the moment. How will the 2200 stally effect my fuel economy if at all? (and yeah i know i shouldn't really worry about fuel economy if i have this car)

This is a VERY good idea - even better if you don't use the cooler in the radiator at all - just run flex hoses from you steel lines to the cooler - you can trim the metal lines back to make a neat job of it.
If you trim the steel lines, use a pipe cutter, not a hacksaw to avoid getting filings in the trans.

Running a separate cooler for your trans will probably twicen the life of the trans - well worthwhile...

thought that might be the case, thanks for the help guys.

Go as big as possible with the cooler and put it in front of the radiator. Hi stall converters make a lot more heat than standard.
