Hammdo tracks a good bit with his Auto.

I track and use a true trans cooler, my last time at the track (2 miles, 12 turns) 30 minutes, my max trans temp was 193. Drag strip and cruising I see 160 to 170 almost all of the time.

I do not have before and after, but I do know Auto's do not like getting hot so I never tried without a trans cooler

I run a TruCool 40btu mounted closest to clean air behind lower grill. Heat Exchanger up top.

Also I recommend to set your tap shift setting to still UP shift on shift points for you automatically, one less thing to think about. This setting should only activate at WOT when at the predetermined shift RPM/Vehicle Speed. Kind of a safety net to stay off the limiter and focus on passing being passed or braking! You can still shift early etc with buttons

Keep control of downshifts obviously.
