What are most people doing with their street/strip cars? Running through both the radiator trans cooler and auxiliary trans cooler or bypassing the radiator trans cooler and just running in and out of the auxiliary trans cooler? The car is in a warm climate here in SoCal and I'm running a Dynamic 9.5 converter and a deep pan. Thanks for any feedback.

The radiator, while not as effective as a good dedicated cooler, is going to offer some cooling effect. The trans fluid on the out side of the tranny is likely in the 180 - 200 range; the coolant in the cool side of the radiator is most likely quite a bit cooler than that. Might as well run it through there to at least start the cooling process. It certainly cant hurt, and will only make the dedicated cooler that much more effective.
