I've always run an auxilary cooler and just recently bypassed the radiator to help control engine temps. I've considered a heat-sink or something under the floor so I don't have to snake the lines all the way up front, but haven't gotten around to it.

But since high temps cause the most problems with automatic transmissions, I've been using Amsoil Supershift synthetic fluid. Synthetics are more resistant to heat and breakdown so you have an extra margin of safety. JW builds my Stocker 904's with nothing too fancy, just good parts. I've run them for several seasons with 1-2 changes a year and was told to keep doing whatever I'm doing whenever I bring one in to be freshened because they wear very well!
