Cool Should i upgrade tranny?

I've got a stock LB7 Duramax/stock transmission with a Superchips Flashpaq on economy mode installed... Do I need to be worried about my tranny? or is this fine? My temps are way below overheating (eng temp and trans temp)... Any advice will be good

you should be fine, but if you plan on adding more than 90hp and driving aggressive, you might as well start saving up the green
