potential tranny issues

im doing some upgrades this week and wonder if i should worry about possible problems with my auto tranny because of it? right now my truck has 300hp injectors and an afe cold air. im putting in a slightly bigger turbo and getting a box (most likely an edge ez). my tranny slips from time to time but goes away when i reset the apps. im going to put in a pyro and boost guage as well. should i think about a tranny temp gauge too? any help would be appreciated. thanks.

A stock trans needs help with stock power. You are on borrowed time.
A valvebody is a good start.

Like j-fox indicates. Your trannies life is limited. Bite the bullet and fix before failure. Do a tranny service and adjust KD band if you must. If KD band adjust is past threads on screw, the tranny is gone.
