X3, and in that order. Starting with 3.08s even going to 3.73s will feel like a miracle.

Trans cooler at the same time as the converter. But yeah, definitely gears first.

X2 if you get a circle D you dont want that converter passing 200. 180 is considered high, so do the tru cool 40k first or at the same time as the converter. When doing the cooler, if you get p/n LPD 4739 do not install the externall bypass valve. This opens at 180 which is already too high. Don't make the same mistake i did. With the tru cool u will see temps of 140-150 and maybe 175 tops if your are in traffic and driving hard for a long itme
