My personal opinion on tranny coolers is that they are really for cases where there is long term stress on the transmission, for example, if you are towing, have a high stall torque convertor, drive in hot, high altitude areas, have lots of long hills, etc. Unless you are regularly drag racing, there is simply not enough time for the transmission fluid to heat up when you floor it for a few seconds. The only way to make the tranny live through the shifts when you have boost is to modify the valve body to shift faster so that it can't slip during the shift. This is what Level 10 is supposed to do, I am considering having my auto done by them at some point. I have been running full boost through the shifts for 3 months now without a problem, but I don't know how things will be in 3 years.
