DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. -Live by that saying, embedded into my brain from my high school football coach. I am also installing a 21K B&M Trans Cooler and a TransGo shift kit with the TC. Waiting for those in the mail, should get here any time now. There is no way I would put that much heat on my tranny without a cooler. My cars lowered, so I just went with the TCI polished pan. I just like the fact that you can drain the fluid without removing the whole pan. The stock pan is a POS. Dyno tune, I am taking it to a corvette tuner who was highly recommended.

Haha,,that was me. I was just talking to Orion about it.
Actually I've logged the car, and around town driving the trans temps stay parallel with the engine temps,,,just like the stock converter did. It locks up around 40 mph anyway so cruising around isn't much of a concern for me right now.
The only time I was able to raise the trans temps was when I would lean on the car for 6-8 seconds. Even then only raised the temps 12-15 degrees,,,nothing in the danger zone. It cooled right back down when I got civilized with it.
The biggest problem would be trying to run 1/4 mile passes with it. That would cause heat issues with no drive around time to cool it off really.
Which is why I am refraining from any 1/4 mile assults until the cooler is in there. I just need to figure out how to keep everything hard lines,,and connect that stupid metric tranny line with what I think has 0-rings to a union and continue the metal line to the cooler and back.
Until then street driving around town has had no affect on trans temps for me,,,,as I said at 40 mph it's locked up anyway just like a stocker.
Hope that explains things a bit.
