Agree whole heatedly on the durability and longevity mods. You will be better off if you can get the most out of your sessions. Oil cooler was a big one for me. Now I'm looking to get better more heat tolerant brake pads. I haven't had any issue with coolant temps but I only plan to do events in the early spring, fall and winter when it's cooler out and there's no autocross.

Thanks for all the advice. I signed up for Roebling Road in January with NASA SE and can't wait for it. I just found out I have the dreaded oil gallery gasket issue and I should have everything back together by the end of this week. I am upgrading/replacing everything I can get to while the timing cover is opened up. Between that, the oil cooler, brake pads/rotors and new clutch I feel like I will have a solid foundation to carry me through HPDE for a while.
