It is highly possible that your car is equipped with a Covette Servo.

I would not think that at your power level an aftermarket sfi rated flexplate would be necessary. But, it might be an upgrade you might want to consider though, won't hurt a thing!

stock flexplates have a tendency to crack... i would pick up a TCI unit - but you will not be able to run the standard sized converter bolts. i believe you'll need an M12 x 1.5 x 20mm "10.9" (hardened).

and yes, i would run a tranny cooler with an aftermarket converter. B&M 24k is a nice unit.

Speedinc usually stocks both of these items, and they have free shipping.
