This is awesome to know. I just picked up a 2022 Camaro LT1 A10 and I would like to get a higher stall someday if they work well in these trans. Haven't found anyone who runs one yet. Anyway, a bigger cooler would be a plus. So the ZL1 cooler uses the same bolt holes/location but the underneath just needs to be cut out? Sounds good to me!

YEP, that's what I was told by AMP. I will confirm that in next couple of days when they do the install.

DUDE that would be GREAT if you could post some pics
Would you happen to know if there's any BTU ratings on both SS and ZL1 coolers?

Nice! I’m interested in results. It should help.
I haven’t looked at my car I just bought yet so I have a question. Do these cars have trans lines going into the radiator in addition to the trans cooler?

OK CORRECTION!!! It appears that my A10 uses ONLY the parallel cooler and DOES not have a line that goes to the radiator. This is more efficient since the AT line doesnt have to go thru a radiator that is being pre-heated by hot water.

The SAFE temp levels for BOTH AT Fluid and Water are about the same or around 220 degrees. The HIGHEST I have since water temp even on a VERY HOT track day is around 212 degrees and that is PRIOR to me installing my hood vents. ON day to day driving, the hood vents appear to make about a 5 degree REDUCTION in water temps.

The hottest I have seen though with tranny temps is around 250 degrees and that SPECIFICALLY is the reason for the change to the ZL1 tranny cooler.

I will post up the MAX temps that I see on both after this weekends blazing hot SCCA Time trials on Saturday.

On my 4thgen I always had the aftermarket trans cooler doing the job by itself. I never wanted to have the 2 connected. Some say it's better to use the radiator in addition to the aftermarket cooler but I never had any issues. I ran a MASSIVE summit racing fin+tube cooler.

I realize you have yours either disconnected or it didnt come with the cooler in the radiator but I guess my specific question is, do these cars come from the factory with a trans cooler/warmer in the radiator? I know they at the least have the trans cooler in the lower area of the nose of the car.

Well I have a 2019 SS and apparently it NEVER had a line going from the tranny to the radiator from the factory It ONLY uses the parallel cooler.

Interesting! I'll be looking at my A10 in a few wks. I'll see if mine came with it. I would rather it NOT have
