The more air you can get out of the engine bay the more air you can get through the coolers and the less heat you trap. Most of the track days around here are 4-25 min sessions but some are 5-25 and a 45 min open track at the end. My car is a 7 AT and all I do is stick it in park and pop the hood between sessions. The key was getting all the coolers where they all had good air flow and not near each other .

I don't think you need it, I've been waiting for it to give and had plans to do a Level 10 but it's shown no slipping at this point. You will see a lot of post that say you can't use gears 5-7 but I use 5th at WOT all the time at the track. My tuner did adjust the pressures to make it shift faster and it has a cooler but that is all we did.
