What do you mean by 'setup'? As this is the Auto Trans Forum, I'm guessing you're refering to torque converters?

Tons of TCs make good every-day driver setups. I would recommend doing a search on that, because the info about TCs is almost endless

Many people use the TransGo shift kits, they are very complete and work well.

As for trans coolers, I like the B&M Supercoolers. Many guys use the 19K-24K sizes, but I'm doing just fine with a 16K and it was easier to fit where I wanted to put it.

the tranny cooler is fine, I wish I had gone bigger with the converter. the converter was fine at the begining but with the cam especially i wish i would have gone bigger. A 4 grand would be good, espcially if its getting a cam or not a daily driver
