Default Should I

hey guys i just ordered some Harland Sharp 1.7 ratio rocker arms and a underdrive crankshaft pulley. Ive read up on here about how removing the clutch fan will help out the motor a lil. I was wondering if a hayden 1250 cfm electric fan will keep my truck cool enough because i live in florida where it gets to about 95 on summer days. I already have a 180 degree tstat and just changed the fluid. Also i was wondering if a tranny cooler will extend the life, (or is it even possbile to hook up) of the infamous dodge transmissions we all have.

thanks

yes to all questions. tranny cooler is highly recommended. while on the highway, the engine fan barely kicks in.
