I investigated it a bit and I'm going to see how hot it gets before I move forward. I'm a fan of the KISS approach, so if it runs cool enough without additional aids, I will leave it as-is.
A few of my friends recently took the Bruce Anderson/Jerry Woods engine rebuilding and transmission class, and they came back with quite a bit of useful information. According to Jerry Woods, 915 transmissions can run relatively hot before the need for additional cooling arises. I'll have to check the notes, but I believe Jerry said you can run them as high as 270F before you need to worry about it. My shop (Powertech) concurred, and said to keep it under 280-300. Nevertheless, I'm going to measure the temperature at my first track event to see where I stand.
As far as spending money, I seem to be doing pretty well on my own right now
