It doesn't have the capacity for track use. It can't even handle stop-and-go traffic without going above 200 degrees. The people who say this transmission can handle 450 HP are absolutely correct. They install an auxiliary transmission oil cooler first, to handle the extra heat. If you want to boost your AT car, install an auxiliary cooler first.

Ok sure but riddle me this batman; from everything I understand operating temp for the AT
is 200 degrees. When when NA I've experienced shifting problems when this transmission is "cool".

I'm about to spend a crap load of money at SSP but the one thing I'm not really thinking about at the moment is the transmission cooler because I live in a cold climate and drive the car year around. There's no hope of that tranny getting to operating temp with a cooler in the winter time.
I'll speak to Kris at SSP and get his opinion; what's another $1000...
