What is the normal transmition temperature on a magnacharged auto camaro?
Mine is sitting a little above 180, and I don't want to tear it up!

Get a trans cooler, your trans will thank you for it.

Here are a couple of decent references. They are slightly different but it gives you an idea of what to expect and set as a tranny temp target.

and this:

Automatic transmission oil can provide up to 100,000 miles of service before oxidation requires replacement, at an operating temperature of 175° F. Above this temperature, the oil oxidation rate doubles with each 20° degrees F increase in oil temperature.

DEGREES F MILES
175 100,000
195 50,000
215 25,000
235 12,500
255 6,250
275 3,125
295 1,500
315 750
335 325
355 160
375 80
395 40
