I haven't been able to find ANY BTU information on the heat sink coolers. I'd sure be looking at that before I got something that might not work. Anybody know where to find that info? The B&M cooler I just bought is rated at 29,200 BTUs. I think a heat sink would have to go a long way to match that, but who knows?

Great. Please post what you find out. I would probably go with the heat sink if it was a similar BTU measurement just because of the space savings. I just can't see it out-performing the stacked plate though.

Default 25 to 30%

Supposed to run tranny 25 to 30 % cooler still debating on the whole thing, Live on longisland ny 3 months warm rest of the year its colder, going to take some temp readings on tranny this weekend if it breaks 180 then I will install heat sink. !5 inch one is a better fit for jk I think. Know matter what we do not going to get rid of that annoying TC lock up at low rpms.

Sorry I wont use sameside inlet/outlet = it's 1/4 inch fittings

I'll use the both end 3/8 fittings just for the GPM factor
