Transmission Cooler Upgrade

Well I'm running a TH400 in my K10 and chose not to run the tranny cooling lines through the radiator. I figure its hot enough here to just let the radiator take care of the engine heat and a seperate cooler to take care of the tranny heat. The engine runs cool no matter what conditions I'm in and the tranny runs at 160 deg. in normal traffic conditions. BUT when in long heavy traffic lines for a long time at idle the tranny temp creeps up to 210 deg. And when backing the trailer into position at home (very,very tight place) the temp gauge on the tranny pegs. I'm using a 6 pass tube and fin cooler mounted in front of the radiator. Not being known for half measures I have two 16 pass- stack type coolers coming in and each has a cooling fan on it. that gives me a 32 pass cooler with fans. Do you think the tranny pump will pump through that? Oh yeah, I also have a tranny oil filter up front. heres a link to the coolers http://www.summitracing.com/parts/DER-15900/
