tranny guru's help me out

got a stock th400 planning on building for this buggy. unfortunatly im not a tranny guy, so i have some questions.

definatly getting a reverse manual v/v and gated shifter from art carr.

i have no idea what guys are using as far as stall speed. s/s seems to be a term just loosely flung around. i know what s/s is, but which speed is relevent to my use is a guess. and im not a good guesser. any thoughts?

as far as a cooler, the bigger the better, and i know a lot of guys run line thru radiator and then a seconday cooler. but am i on the right track if i dont run it through rad at all? my reasoning is that doing so would instantly HEAT the fluid temp to the temp of the radiator(160-200?), and thats as cool as i could expect it to get...? and if i just run it through a secondary, though smaller, would maybe be a better starting point since it would be cooler... i am talking about a real trammy cooler with fins and a fan btw, not a pep boys ziptie special. any thoughts?

if i was to build build it, any other info? no matter where i take it, id sure like to know what i want before i send it out. im dumb enough as it is, lol
