Then I'll put some of that thermodynamic knowledge to good use & figure out how big of a cooler I really need for my application.

Well if you leave in the OEM BS one in the radiator wouldn't that eliminate the risk of overcooling?

A couple of reason I would rather not. My thoughts are, I really don't want to risk coolant & ATF mixing because of some misfortune. If I am going to put a cooler in, why would I want to pre-heat the air that is suppose to remove excess BTU's? & If I can use a smaller cooler, it will block less airflow to the radiator keeping coolant & engine oil temps cooler. Thinking of mounting an external Trans-oil filter while I'm at it if I find a good location. Most of my parts are sourced already, so now I just need to find the time to tear it all down & get it done.
Then after that we can talk about that ride
