If you have the pyro I wouldnt be worried, run it an see what happens. If it starts to get realy hot to soon for you then I would do an exhaust. intake always helps too more air flow, faster heat disipation.

I will bet that you will have to ditch the kitty for sure, possible a DP too, but run it first see what happens.

I would put a transmission temp gauge in place if it's an automatic.
