supercharger and transmission...

I am really concerned about the transmission life now that my truck has 100 + more horsepower than stock with the procharger. Will the tranny hold up to this new added power? . I have seen trans temps up in the 220 degree range. I have a 2005 with 22 inch wheels . What can I do, another trans cooler?, anything else? what have you guys done on this matter?
Thanks for the input.

Valve body (I've got an Art Carr, I think Factory Tech are the better)
Additional tranny cooler (I've got a Derale with a fan on it)
4.10 rear gears (had cr@ppy 3.31 stock)

130K miles on my Procharged 97 w/E4OD.
I tow a lot.
No problems.

Two sugestions, install a 6" fan on the trans cooler or upgrade to a larger cooler. I live in Phoenix AZ. and tow alot during the summer when temps are normally around 105*-115*. Mostly my trans temps are around 180* or so with the stock cooler plus a 6" fan.

Add a shift kit. Decreases shift times which decrease clutch slippage.

Add a Monster Box trans when this one dies.
