gear ratio swap
Im sure it will seem a little loser for the simple fact it will effcetly add more load to tun rear wheels. now by how much? i have no idea each car/converter combo is diffrent. yes it will make some more heat depending how your driving style is. The more its lugged i higher gears with low road speed the more heat. i would add an aux cool in addtion to your factoy cooler it can never hurt to have more cooling capacity.
