What I am thinking about doing is to go to higher viscosity oil, using 0w40 currently, will go to 0w50. Also, I am planning to make dual oil cooler by adding another core to my current one, and maybe adding high capacity oil pan to get more oil in the engine.
I know at least one forum member cut out their front fascia from hood to crash bar and replaced it with mesh.

ZSpeed aluminum splash guard has an opening designed to allow airflow over the bottom of the oil pan.
