Higher Stall converter/valve body

Hello Dead G35 members,so for the last 3 month my G35(Alisa) transmission been slipping and its time to swap the transmission or upgrade.
what i mean by slipping is after 20min of driving it slips between gear changes about 50-200rpm and becomes more smoother compared to cold driving|(first 10-20min)

so my options are.

Edge torque converter
Cooler but having a hard time deciding on the size,i do beat the car a bit in the city,very spirited driving
valve body upgrade

my question is should i get a new tranny with a valve body and a cooler or think about a diff route.

upgrades are:mrev2,spacer,exhaust,TP,intake.

Thank you from Canada.

If you have the cash why not upgrade? Seems you want to increase performance and I know several people with the Transgo valve bodies and to a man they love them.

Cooler is a must must,transgo labor for installation is not bad but since the guys are going to be taking the transmission apart i wanted to get some input on high stall TC

I didn't like the sloppy feel of a high stall converter. Too low and I've been told it will bog, but I think the stock stall is fine. If you are doing a full rebuild get the high performance rebuild kit, vb, and cooler. Might as well put in a upgraded TC from Edge racing. Labor is the killer.

i am glad that one of the shops will install the valve body for 250CAD which i find is a decent price.
I use quite frequently and beat on the transmission pretty hard.Having a problem deciding on the size of the cooler,if anyone has the dimensions it would be great.
I looked in to the rebuild kits,yes the labour is out of this world but i need one since my RPM jumps 150-300rmp bettween shift after 10min of spirited driving and about 50-100 when driving normal.

p.s I am staying NA for the near future so i need to call edge and figure out what would be m ideal rpm stall range
