When I was researching Porsche transaxles (back when I raced Porsches) on some models, the only difference was the addition of the cooler and pump and the trans was then miraculously rated for an extra 200ft/lbs torque.
Just like you've found with the engine, I think if you can add a cooler and pump and keep the oil temps down really low, you'll probably get away without blowing more boxes.

I was aware of that but skeptical. Temperature control is very important however and a broken down oil or thinned out oil can cause for stress to the gears so the logic is most certainly there. I'm willing and hopeful it will help so I'm going for it.
Maybe I can talk Jeff Perrin into making one for us
