Oil/Transmission cooler question

Hi guys so i have been researching the vortech sc for a pretty long time and i finally decided to take the plunge! My question is since i have 5AT, what size oil and transmission coolers should i get? I have my eye on this one http://www.gtmotorsports.com/product...cat=262&page=1
but i don't really know how to pick the right size. Thanks for the help!

You can build DIY kits for $250-275 for oil cooler and for tranny cooler it is like the power steering if i am not mistaken. You just run the lines from radiator to a larger cooler and back to radiator. Do your research but there is plenty of options for DIY and 1 will be looking into oil cooler down the road.

thanks

For FI, get a larger cooler for the 5AT. I run a 12 x 11 x 1.5 (tru cool model 4590):

He's had his installed for years - lol. Transmission lines are 3/8" with hose barbs at either end. That cooler fits nicely on the passenger side in front of the radiator (and ac grill) if you move the horns out of the way.
