Hello, can anyone tell me how important the foam that comes with the radiator is? Looks like it would make it more of a pain to put the shroud back on. The reason I'm asking is I already installed it without it and the two plastic strips that were in the box. Everything lined up good. There were new bolts too I didn't use. Will it be okay? Thanks Mike
The plastic strips are to mount the fans back. The foam block some air from going around the radiator.
I didn't use the plastic strips to bolt the fans back up they seemed to go back on pretty easy, that should be okay right? Do you think it will make a difference if I don't use the foam? I can pull it back out if needs be.
Well, between the Dewitt's and B&M cooler the trans temp is down 38 degrees. It was getting to 212 @ 70 outside temp, today its 95 outside and it reached 174.

I'd attribute that to the trans cooler. Still good results though!
Im thinking 70/30, the radiator has a 1" copper tube for the Trans fluid, plus the tank is aluminum.
Fair. More surface area should keep the trans fluid closer to coolant temps too rather than higher. I did drop almost 50 degrees towing with my truck just by adding a B&M plate cooler though. The radiator in that thing makes the stock C4 one look good.
The single row doesn't need the condenser upgrade either, does it?
