Diff and tans cooler
Trying to get some opinions on running or not running the trans and diff cooler on a zr1 tr6060 and diff. Car is making 900-1000 and will see street duty and mile and half mile events.

They broke, I replaced them with LGs. The LGs are much better. The Pfadts rode better, but the LGs work better.
FYI, the diff case in the picture is a European Z51.

All the "tubes" are in the GM parts catalog. Since my car was a Z51, I on,y needed the "tubes" for Euro Z51 duff cooler.

Would u say the ride was significantly different? I just don't wanna put them on and feel every single bump I hit. Car is a boosted 08Z. No track time. Occasional roll race on the highway.

No, but once see it in the GM parts book, it will look easy. Keep in mind that I am not using a ZR1 diff and trans, but a 2006 Z51 with the factory trans and factory Z51, European spec diff case.

The used cooler and pump was $100, RPM charged me $50 to cut the pinion, when I bought a new gear set from them, 19132926 side cover was $130 and I don't recall the piping.
The ZR1 case is slightly bigger, so the hoses that go from the case to pump and pump to cooler, I made from a combo of factory lines and AN fittings.
