Default Trans Temps too high for my setup?

I just moved to florida from colorado.. its significantly hotter down here than colorado.. and using hptuners my trans temperature would be over 175 degrees on the highway... hovering around 178.. I have an aftermarket B&M transcooler with cooling of 24,000. I mounted it dope style however... so I cant find a fan small enough for it, so should i mount it to the a/c condenser or should I buy a bigger cooler with a fan built to it.. Just trying to protect the transmission from blowing out again.

Thanks Guys!

I think 200+ is when you need to be careful

I had a few beers and thought i might run the secondary air injection pump lines to the transmission cooler.. That way when the temps get a little high i can turn on the pump.. what do you think? Maybe some red neck engineering? hahaha
