Tranny Cooler and VB mod question

Since I just figured out that I can do a complete tranny flush myself, I figured I might as well install a cooler while I'm at it. But now I'm suffering from Option-Overload. Oh man, which one should I get for my '02 auto-tragic?

B&M, Hayden, Flexalite??? I'm sure this has been discussed a million times but since I can't search I don't know what's the best one to get. Can someone either tell me a make & model (i.e. B&M Supercooler #70255) or point me to a thread where this has been discussed?

One last thing. Once I get the cooler installed, I'll be able to do the VB mod. It's been a while since I read about this. Is this a D.I.Y. operation? Can someone point me to a thread that explains all the details of the VB mod (i.e. how to do it etc.)?

Many thanks.

I just bought this one and installed it. Fairly straight foreward. Word of advice, don't mount too high up otherwise you might run into problems running hose without crimping it. I picked up 6ft of trasnsmission fluid hose at my local AutoZone. You will need and extra 4-6 ft to do the install.

VB can be DIY. check out mobiletek.net for instruction.
