John, have you ran the nuimbers on the radiator?
The radiator with the cooler in it does more then just cool. it regulates the minimum temp of the fluid as well. I dont know where you are located, but up north-this should be a major concern, you can run these tranny's too cool. Even the high temp will be regulated better as well because of the coolant temp..I have seen brand new radiators for less then $300..

Other reading, pyro 6'-7' and boost running 6-7#. Stopped 15 min. and trans temp drops back to 150', pulled back and the road again and temp soon came back up. Outside temp was 60'. At this point, I haven't done anything. What dicrections should I go first? Thanks..
I would suggest you ask Ron at Heavy metal Performance
