My car(s) have been and are regularly hot lapped and my transmissions have never puked in ~5000 passes!

IMO, you're just making it harder than it has to be for what YOU have and what YOU are doing.
Ive never puked fluid either using the stock trans cooler in the radiator, but I guess a catch can will never hurt anything. Im much more interested in what this cars going to run with the trans change and wheelie bar seeing it ran 9.40 untuned @ 1670 feet DA before these changes, should be dam interesting.
