Do I need a deep tranny pan?
I do not think you really need one but I bought one of the GM truck pans (GM part # 24215535) with the drain plug. The drain plug is really handy and it holds about 1.5qts more fluid than the stock F-body pan.

The smaller converter uses about 2 Qt's less fluid and that is lost in your system that is one reason that there can be cooling problems in some setups!
always go for an increase in the system of no less than 1 Qt more that stock for a converter more than 2000 rpm over stock.
Good luck

I have a Y3000 2.0 STR in my 01 Z28. I have a B&M 24K cooler and a B&M 3Qt. deeper aluminum pan. My trans temps on the freeway (hot day or cold) never rise above 140F. In town my temps run a little higher between 150 & 175 depending on the outside temperature. I live in a very warm climate.
If your vehicle is NOT lowered, go for the B&M 3Qt. aluminum pan.
