Default B & M Tranny Cooler location???

I saw the write up on here and plan on using it, but was just wanting some opinons from you guys (and gals).

Should I place it directly in the middle of the radiator, or the side of the radiator. Since it will be blocking air to the radiator, which way do you think will retain the most air to the radiator?

Haven't really seen anything on the effects of the engine after installation of one of these ...anyone have any problems such as engine overheating due to blockage caused by the tranny cooler?

IMHO I don't think it makes too much of a difference with either location for installing. Don't recall hearing or seeing anyone on here with any overheating issues after putting this in. I just did this install and went right for the center.

yeah, i did mine in the middle and works great! I dont think it matters either way though... I think it looks the best centered in the middle.

right in the middle, well i guess a little offset, no cooling problems. Mine even has it's own 7 inch fan behind it.

i put mine to the drivers side facing up and bought 4 feet extra 3/8 hose

I think it makes the install cleaner as you can't really see the hose runs
