Get a tranny cooler. Aftermarket converters produce more heat than factory and any blower that gives instant boost is also going to be harder on tranny parts. Plan on needing a tranny sooner or later. Its par for the course

Ive got a 2800 stall, and a heavy Duty cooler to.
trans temps stay at 160*. , and I will agree with grentahoe.
you will need to invest in a trans upgrade, wether it be a 60E upgrade or an 80E swap.

you could get a B&M super cooler or something like that.
something along the lines of a Heavy duty, dont remember exactly what t was called.
it will work just fine
Summit Racing has some or you could check out some of the Sponsors over there ---------------------------------------------------------------------->
