Default LG Supercool Radiator

Has anyone installed the supercool radiator from LG Motorsports in a Z51 A6. The only time I took my C6 to the track my trans fluid temp rose to 270 degrees. My engine coolant was not so high that it alarmed me. I was wondering if the rad would help with the trans fluid temps as well as engine coolant. It was 105 degrees or so that day and I did not really push the car. Although it is not the best trans for the track it sure beats towing my race car 400 miles for a half day of fun while visiting family in the Dallas area.

Why not just add a trans cooler?

I've looked at those as well. This is the first performance car I've owned with an auto and I have no experience with them. I guess I am worried about doing more damage than good. With the rad it would be a simple install and no worries about screwing something up or bad placement or fluid starvation. I live in a small town and there are not any performance shops that can tell me "this will work fine". I'll try picking the mind of a few transmission shop guys.

Yeah those automatics heat up at the track. would do the engine radiator anyway, can only help. You need to add a cooler to the tranny though, no way around it.
