removing thermostat

I guess it would depend on convection. With lots of turning, stopping & accelerating, it may actually transfer the cool water around pretty well. Oh well, too hard to figure out.

So what would be better..
1.Buy an aftermarket trans cooler and bypass the factory cooler?
2. Use the factory cooler with an aftermarket one?

Heres another issue with not running a thermostat. Not running a thermostat is like tryng heat up a hot tub. It may take awhile to get warm but once it heats up you can't cool it down because now all your doing is recirclating hot coolant back into a hot engine even thou it passes through a radiator. The idea of the thermostat is to hold the coolant within a certain temperature range.

The fans set the upper temp limit, not the thermostat. Hot=open, cold=closed, it has no way of controlling flow when above its opening temp.

You've been fooled by urban legend. Anyone with a basic understanding of thermodynamics and heat transfer will be able to understand why this not true.
