Oh HELL YES!
Can't even THINK about runnin' a stall without a tranny cooler.
I don't recall the manufacturer... but as a general rule the bigger the better.
I'm just bought a finned oversize tranny pan, hopefully we'll get it installed this week end... it adds 2 quarts of fluid in volume and the fins heat-sinks the pan providing great surface area for air to pass over to promote cooling.
You're going to LOVE the Vig man... best money you've ever spent on that car.

I wouldn't advise running around with it unlocked either, though!

I'll back it up..i installed a 2800 in mine
dropped my 60's from mid 1.9's to 1.73. Everything else he said is the same its flat out nasty out of the hole. One question. Any problems with gear changes on the track? or did you get a tune? At the track mine would bounce off the rev limiter on 1st to second. Street it never does it. Mines a 9 1/2 also

Best bet is to get it tuned or convert to OBD2. I had my transmission built and converted to an on/off switch with the computer and the ability to fully change the gears as I pushed them up from 1 to D... I could actually take off in 3rd if I wanted to. That fixed the problem, but the other problem after I put the 396 in was melting the 4L60E.
, tons of others have done it so I am sure I will live.

), the problem should have been fixed/address, so it shouldn't be much of an issue anymore as long as you get a tune from a reputable tuner, a tranny cooler, and a shift kit.
