Coolers for forced induction

Oil pan spacer is a plus, but you could also add a power steering cooler if you really needed to or a differential cover (the nismo editions have it to keep the differential temperatures cool so they don't "burn").

Seems I was wrong .....

For the op, I wouldn't worry about the trans cooler at first unless you really beat on it at the track a lot. I would get at least a 34 row oil cooler, and highly recommend the csf triple pass rad. A vented hood is also a very good idea if you can swing it.

And brake cooling...sweet baby Jesus brake cooling.
