Fiero....then something'* wrong.
It'* also how you treat your tranny with the new mods. If you drive cassually and only use the power selectivly you're tranny will last a lot longer.

I had to put the smaller pulley from the 93 on the newer sc to get the sam boost as befor. So what I am saying is by putting the 95 sc & tb with the smaller 93 pulley I gained no boost it was exactly the same as befor I started the project. What I meant by my reply to will was I know it should have more boost but mine did not,

Im suprised no one has suggested this....if you are woried, get a complete tranny flush & filter done. Then get the biggest tranny cooler you can mount installed. This is the first thing I did to my 99 BEFORE any other mods. I realise we have different trannys, but it will still help the longevity of your tranny even if you remain stock. I have some pics of the cooler on my SSEi site in my sig. Really easy to install!

A smaller one will do to bring the temps down 20* F or so.
You have to be careful that you don't create too much cooling.
Recommend using synthetic trani fluid as well.

Only if you're planning to pull a trailer through the mountains. Otherwise, we recommend against it on vehicles with the 3800 FWD/4T65E drivetrain.
We have dissected more of these trannies than anyone else in the performance aftermarket, and we have yet to see a single heat-related failure. Hard parts break in these trannies, and these failures will not be prevented by a tranny cooler.
Tranny coolers add unnecessary weight and opportunities for fittings to leak. A leaking fitting can let your tranny run dry in minutes and ruin it far faster than a little heat ever could.
Our trannies are cooled by the same radiator used to cool the engine. So running a colder engine thermostat will make both your engine and your tranny run cooler.

Except that a tranny cooler can also reduce engine temps, and the biggest cause of failure in TC'* and fluid is heat. Heat breaks down the fluid, then you pay $80 for a flush. I'd rather do buy a $40 cooler, and flush every two years, rather than flush once a year.
I also have a trans temp gauge. Climbing the mountain passes around here in the summer with tranny temps of 240°+? No thanks.
