I went with the 70268 model cooler.
It's 8.5" x 11" x 3/4"

When I was looking at Summit Racing, I didn't see the one Romini got, it's a little bigger.
Model 70264 = 7.375 x 11 x 1.5" Twice as thick, just an inch shorter.

For comparison, that 70255 is 7" x 11" x 3/4"


I think mine was around $45-$50

The cooler you got was the thicker one and I assume you had no problems with installation etc.?
I need to order one so I'll be ready to do the TC install (if I can get a hold of Todd @ TM Eng.)
yeah, the 70264 is even thicker. you can always use more cooling man. and would it work? install? come on, you know where i got my job done right?! and i got my cooler from him as well, so i didn't have to worry about anything! just bring the money and done

my car is also very happy of course, hehe

when i first went on the freeway after the install i almost crashed the car. i wanted to start to accel to get up to speed, but as soon as i speed, the car flew forward and almost hit the car in the front...

you see the power now?

LOL! I can just hear it now...

Henry-- "but Officer, my car has SO much power now that I just can't control it anymore and I plowed into the car in front of me..."
Officer-- " Well, I know you have the PI TC on your car, so I understand. You may continue on your way, sir. Have nice day."

I agree with Hameed, I've got to get mine installed ASAP!! Can't get ahold of Todd M. by PM or email- I'll try and call him Monday AM... Thanks for the info on the cooler!

Henry, Henry, Henry... Seems every mod is an excuse to nearly crash your car.
