But you have great tranny temps (unless your sender is off)...wonder how much that Morossa unit helps......

I would say the MOROSO is best..........alum...........unpainted and with a filter to boot.Temps are correct, SHe has had 10K hard miles on the current set-up at a few tracks w/o issue.
Only time I got a high trans temp warning........hot lapping 7 straight times in the 1/4 in 97 degree 100 % humidity. I got every bell/chime/whistle one can get on a C5
Still ran an 11.31 @120+

I am understanding correctly that both the cylindrical finned and the flat parts are in-line transmission coolers? I see that you are running this on the track but the web site you provided says not recommended for street use. I also thought that we already have a transmission cooler in-line? I too have an A4, 2000 coupe and get some 215-220 temps on my transmission fluid just driving back and forth to work and around town and that is with ambient 85-95 I forgot to look the last few days of 105 ambient temps. I would really like to do one of these options also and like the cylinder with fins and filter but if the manufacturer does not recommend for street use maybe I should stick with just the radiator looking cooler? Thanks for the input and I am not trying to hijack his thread, sorry if it looks that way.

I didn't think about the need for disclaimers, good point. I try to get out to Texas Motor Speedway 1-2 times a year and run that course but mostly I use it for my dream car daily driver. Does the car come stock with an in-line trans cooler also?

I just got back from Putnam Park with the NCM guys. I got 302 degrees on oil and tranny temp warning before completing one of the 20 minute sessions. I have coolers for tranny and engine oil on order. If one pushes the Z06 hard at the track, you will get high temps, too high temps ! Put in the coolers and save your vette.

Well, that is the problem. The temperatures were in the 80's. I know I'll have to use coolers for later in the summer. I have 372 torque at the rear. I can't imagine how quickly and how hot one can get with more power in the hot summertime.
