Stay NA or go to the Dark Side?

So I got my quote back from Mike@GTM and they will be running a promotion on the new twincharger system. There were a few recommendations that he added to the quote which I had an eye on already. All of which were massive cooling upgrades to keep the Z running cool during hot laps in this SW heat. He also stated that this will work with my existing oil cooler which is reassuring as I paid a small fortune for it.

I'll let GTM make their pricing announcements,but he recommended, radiator, shroud, and SPAL fans. He also recommended running their external water/oil cooler in series with my oil cooler. This is primarily due to the extreme climate here, so I don't see everyone needing such heavy duty cooling with their vehicles unless they are running them hard for an extended period of time. The only thing not included on the quote that I think I'll be picking up is their traction control system. It's a good safety feature as opposed to either the crappy OEM TCS or off and having that much power. Total price I'm looking at so far is just over $11k for the parts alone. Add another $1200 for the traction control module and $1500 for install and any additional tuning, I think $15k is a good estimate. I would anticipate a turbo setup to cost more with the same cooling options.
