anything over 195 200 and you are burning the oil. check that gauge. Your tranny is not going to last

i run 190 drag racing!!!!! and that was with a stock cooler and a deep pan..... whoever did that trans is looking to do it again soon.... after 210 the clutch hate you and the fluid burns...

on the road with that set up i ran around 160..... Im going to be running cooler that that now too.... my trans right now will hold over 7 gallons of fluid.... i want it as cold as possible....
