    It's always helpful to list what you drive. Looking at your name, I'll take a guess.

    1. I would definately change the TC
    2. Stock stall unless you research and mod.
    3. Yes you can. The low end of the normal operating temp is 160F. Being that you live in the US, it has been known in parts to get cold enough that too much cooling can be possible in the winter.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    Double the cooler like you mentioned. You can get pretty hot or not?
    Stock converter will keep the temps in the best place

    No worries man..I assumed you were a killing a trans a week GXP. I have a local guy that's on his 5th since March. Stock..doing nothing wrong. Seems like there's something a lot of shops are missing in the rebuild.
