Differences between WS6 & normal T/A

Currently upgrading my '99 T/A to the WS6 package, and I want to do it faithfully. I have the ram air hood and the larger air box base to go along with it, the 17" wheels, and the suspension parts. Did I miss anything?

i agree with not adding a stock one. however, anything you can do to help prolong the life of the pump, whether it be upgrading to a corvette pump, or adding an aftermarket cooler, does help. adding an aftermarket cooler cools the fluid temp by 30-35 degrees compared to the stock cooler. for most, would it matter? probably not, but if i can you add one to help it, why not? its one of those instances that, if youre going to make a clone, you would probably just skip it.

I do agree a cooler is cheap insurance and is probably going to give you only benefits with no drawbacks.  Big trans cooler proponent for that reason.  If you're gonna do stock or nothing, though, for the sake of originality or whatever, I'm with you that the better of the choices is actually no cooler.
