If you have a compatible car OS, you can swap in the car trans 4L60E segment (and do the mods joe was talking about). I have an fbody PCM, so naturally, I am running a fbody OS, with a 4L60E segment on an 80E.
BTW My drive is ~25 miles, mostly highway (with little traffic) and my transmission only builds about .5* of heat per minute on the highway, when I get home its a whopping 130*F. It is about 110* when I get on the highway. It would normally be 160* when I got home with the 4L80E segment (and hover around there).
