No use being nice to the MT poster, he is just trying to add to the smart *** remarks and try and make the AT buyer feel small.

I've ordered the BHR radiator as hopefully a solution to this problem. Others seem to be reporting great results with it. I'm not sure if anyone has specific before and after track data on the 4AT with it, but considering all the positive comments I expect good results with it. If it can drop me 10 to 20 degrees I'll call it successful for my case.

I should also say that my oil temps were well under control with the second oil cooler. If you track your AT I'd highly recommend it. Either look for a used setup from a parts car, or if you prefer new talk to Paul at Mazmart. He will hook you up with a real nice setup. With the second oil cooler, my oil temps went from the 240s on the track down to around 210.
I can't give you track numbers but before the 117+ temps hit, I was really happy with the BHR rad. I would look for a good 20 degree drop in the summer.
