Quick question for people who know more about this than me:

-I already have a LSD (nismo lol ok) but am I going to need to seriously consider upgrading clutch/flywheel etc?
-I would assume I won't need an oil cooler running forced induction...or will I?

Any tips (HEY CODY PLEASE READ) or things I should know before I seriously consider taking the plunge would be helpful.

-Don't think you will need new wheels, but definitely some stickier tires. FI'd Z's have a lot of issues with traction.
-Depending on how much HP/TQ you get from the kit, upgrading the clutch/flywheel would be a really good idea. Might be too much HP/TQ for the stock ones to handle.
-You'll need a lot more than just oil coolers, but the kit might come with them. You'll have to ask Tony about that.

Not to sound like a d!ck or ***, but if you're asking these kind of questions before making such a huge commitment, you might want to do some research on your own first

1) we all know how much it cost to go TT, it ain't cheap, you're about to drop a WHOLE lot of money
2) you are now putting a lot more strain on your motor, will it blow? Probably not, but can you expect to rebuild your whole money? Yes, and this will not be cheap either
3) same goes with your transmission

My advice would be to kind of read around first, get a really good understanding for yourself, and get real world experience from other members who have gone through the process and what they have to say, feedback wise.

edit:

I would guide all questions to FI, they should be able to answer any questions you have
