Just looking for the best basic mods i can get. I don't wanna smoke a tranny or anything. if it will extend the life of it i will do it. I do not want to tear open or modify the engine at all aside from the tuning aspect.

What all is available for me to work with and where can i purchase said items?

a trans cooler will bring down the temp and help preserve life.

While you are doing the cooler and changing your trans fluid put in a Shift Kit, I have one for sale if you are interested...

After tranny work is done ( cooler, shift kit, filter, and fluid) maybe lower the suspension with some ssc drop springs to stiffen it up and lower body roll. Other mods could be the free upper motor mount flip ( its a sticky) and maybe a wet fogger nitrous system w/ a retune?
Afterwards you are most likely going to have to get in that engine and swap your intake manifold, delete dod (if not tuned out already) change your heads up a little with some springs, lifters, and push rods.

plan on a tranny rebuild no matter what. Theres nothing to prevent it from failing. There is only ways to "try" and make it last longer.

Sounds like i need to get a cooler mounted up. i planned on a transmission service (fluid/filter/etc) at 60k regardless so im not too far off. might as well push it up a bit.

When i setup this Transmission cooler...do you bypass the radiator's internal cooler or hook it up in line? is there any specific pressure rating or fittings i'd need for this?

There is a trans cooler sticky at the top that will help you out with anything you will need
