The pressure drop myth is complete and utter bs. The cooling circuit is a secondary pressure circuit, when it exits the cooler the fluid is going right back into the pan. The circuit is also pressure limited through a bypass. You could technically plug the feed port on the side of the trans and it would still function normally. Granted you would quickly run into temp issues.
There are several people running coolers now, all with extremely positive results. This isn't rocket science, auto transmissions have been built and raced for decades now. A effective cooler is a must. 200+ degree temps are not ok especially when your well past the transmissions engineered capabilities. I'm not trying to start a business here, I put together a kit that I believe is the best it can possibly be. It can be done cheaper, but I don't really see the point in doing it at all if your running the chance of a cheap ass core or line failing and taking out the trans with it. Same reason most people are smart enough to not run an eBay oil cooler. I'm not going to lose sleep if I don't sell any, just figured I might give a few others a chance to get a bolt on setup since there are no other options. That's all I've got.
I never said you were shady I spoke on my experience thus far is all I did. I haven't had any issues with my AT.
