Re: ECU tune Transmission control unit?

This new transmission really gets after circulating the fluid, the pressure on the cooler circuit has nearly doubled at idle from stock. Perhaps I'll see it if I get stuck in traffic later this summer when it's over 100 outside.
Question:
Pressure on the cooler circuit; the stock cooler is considered restrictive. If it is bypassed, say into an auxiliary fluid to air heat exchanger that is less restrictive, the flow will increase and the pressure will drop. What effect (if any) would this have on system pressure to the rest of transmission?
