At the track it rarely goes over 160 degs. w/a b&m cooler mounted behind my ft. valance and during the hot desert summers, maybe 180 max w/a 5000+ vert.

What would be considered "in the danger zone?" Street/strip car, descent converter and gear, cooler, deep pan, ect. 200+ ??

The red dye in the standard petroleum ATF is designed to change colors at 325F, which is a way for the standard consumer and general automotive techs. of telling when the trans has been to hot So any temps below 275 F should be and is safe

Good point. But remember, the hottest part the fluid sees is not the bottom of the pan that most people have the sensor in. The converter is typically the hot spot in a high stall, high perf usage. And that can be way over the pan temp.

Years ago my dad let me use one of his 8" TA converters in my car to replace the stock one. One condition was that I had to have a trans temp guage since I drove the car on the street. That was one of the most active guages on the car as I put it in the hot line going to the cooler. It would be 280ish on a run but be 180 by the time I got my time slip. I was running a small stacked plate cooler ahead of the stock trans cooler in the rad.

I have been told that if you are up on the converter with the trans brake you can develop 100* per second and I would believe that is right after the converter where they take the temp. I really dont think 10* will make much or any difference.... JMO
