LOL this thread is awesome.

I guess to help the OP, I would go with what chuck said as far as making cooling a priority. I've never been to Qatar, but I imagine the heat is as bad, if not worse than Texas. An oil cooler is a must with any VQ37 in my opinion.

I'm running the stock radiator and haven't had any issues on track and dailying the car for nearly 90,000 miles. However, I'm running the Stillen bumper which has generous cooling.

To comment on the other hilarity in this thread, the reason most boosted Zs are not seen on track is because of the amount of supporting modifications needed to keep the car running healthy at extreme heat. High efficiency radiators, extra oil coolers, using E85, and modifying body panels are used to combat that issue. On top of that, running boost in a motor that is not designed for boost causes extra stress on the motor, so alot of guys will look into using a "built" motor to support the boost pressure. All of this can cost $$$$$, but if you build it right the first time, you will have less problems in the future.

At the end of the day it's your ride!
