Finally, when it comes to transmission fluid, i know that the Summit 4126 Tranny Cooler is what i want when it comes to cooling, but is there a specific brand that anyone uses?
Cryo,
If the engine is leaking oil in any way, I'd steer away from full synthetic. You might want to PM Larry III, as I know he uses synthetic in his SVXes.
I think you'll find that everyone - short of those with the 87 octane option of ECU Tune's Stage 1 chip enabled - is running high test.
Do a search of the site for the trans cooler info - alot of people are running B&M coolers, the model number depends a lot on whether you're going to mount in in front of the radiator or in the driver's wheel well.
