Hopefully someone can answer this question for me..
Not long after first installing the blower a few years back, my car was doing the same. It would flare when driven hard and the trans temp would get a bit elevated.
Added B&M external trans cooler with a fan - resolved the flare issue.

What are your transmission temperatures with the cooler?
Can you send me the part number please?

Cooler is always a good idea as mentioned. If it is a 6L80, check the fluid and overfill the trans by 1 quart after full.
