the tranny will be hotter, but a cooler should solve that problem

a trans cooler is a good idea, but with only a 2500 stall, your tranny should be fine. If you want better ETs, but don't want to go extreme, you might consider a 3000 stall convertor. 3500 would probably be too much if you are worried about tranny rebuilding, cuz then it would be more likely down the road.

if your going to spend money on a TC I would go with the above 2800 - 3200 the tranny will be fine but like anything if you run it hard then expext to have problems. even if it were stock.

Very true. It all about know HOW to race your car so that you don't overstress things and give yourself problems down the road.
