Adding a transmission cooler is up for debate. A lot of people say that a trans cooler on a 4t45 causes issues by introducing air/foaming.

You can. I also see no need for a trans cooler unless your repeatedly preloading it.

On other trans it might help. But on the 4t45 maven and john from Powell racing say its a bad idea. And they both have extensive experience with the delta platform.

THIS!!!

I have a built pontiac g8 gt 6.0L v8 and it runs 12s tuned to 425HP. It's less fun to daily drive and throw around than my modded cobalt was, even though the cobalt was immeasurably slower. I still had more fun, and thats what it's all about, the owners perspective.

From: ,
I've got essentially the same setup as the OP, just different brands on my parts. Taking my car to the track Friday (Hopefully the event doesn't get postponed again), and I'll post pics of slips. My goal is to stay N/A and break 14's with my SS/NA auto
