Doesn't putting the trans cooler in front of the radiator add heat to the radiator and degrade its effectivness?
What kind of sleeve did you put over the black braided stainless? I'm assuming it's some sort of heat shield.
I'm planning to do this mod myself soon (switching from steel hard lines to braided stainless for the cooler lines), but plan to run the lines completely away from the headers so hoping I won't have a heat/melt issue?
