most of the tranny guys will want you to bypass the stock cooler for their warranty to hold

but another cooler is beneficial because of added volume and cooling ability

To keep the fluid temps down lower that the stock cooler in the radiator can , Particularly with a stall theres more heat generated, The stock cooler was only designed to eliminate a certain percentage of the heat so if you make more heat then it becomes inadequate.
And the simple fact keep the trans cooler the fluid stays good longer the trans last longer.
