Default Need Advice!

Ok, I have a Turbo 400 in my '99 Z28, with a pretty loose 4000 stall converter. I have the stock thermo w/ the fans set at like 180 or 185 and a B&M supercooler 24,000 gvw. I'm goin up to a track rental in Bradenton with a bunch of my buddies, and my cruising speed is like 70-75 @ 3200-3300 rpm w/ 3.73's and 275/60-15 street tires. I'm curious, am I goin to burn up my tranny if I drive it up there, it's about a 250 mile trip each way. A few of my friends seem to think that i'm goin to burn it up and i'm a little scared, cuz I can't afford that tow home right now, i'm a little broke from christmas! What you guys think, you think i'll have a problem or what? Thanks in advance for any help!

I think you'll be fine with that 24K cooler. I'd install a tranny temp gage if I were you.
