| I have the Moroso cooler and it has worked well. I do know several people who ran "Ringless Input shafts" and had bad heat issues because of circulation issues. My transmission guy told me the ringless ones are stronger but make trans run real hot. https://postimg.cc/gallery/np3zpruo/"Dunning-Kruger Effect" -a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability.

Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue. 4X NE2 CHAMPION. 2020 TDRA NE2 Champion |

The pump does need to be set up for a ringless shaft. If you just replace a ringed shaft with a ringless one, you won't have cooler flow.

| My doorcar never gets over 150. Curious as to what size tire and gear. When I drove a dragster for my buddy, it had 3.90 gears and 34.5 tires running 7.70's. It used to cook the fluid and we used to spray the trans between rounds. (no gauge, too hot to touch it) Another small block dragster I drove would get up to 200 and never really went over, even hot lapping it. My slow doorcar never gets over 150.

| One thing you should do is remove the top cooler line and placed in a bottle. it should pump a quart of fluid at idle in less than 30 seconds. No fluid should come from the top fitting on the case!!! Only from the line!!If not there is a flow problem in the cooler circuit. It could be a check valve in pump stuck open,a check valve in cooler,bad cooler line,mix matched pump and input. If this flow is not correct it will affect the performance of the car as well due to this is where converter charge pressure is regulated.
