On a separate note, apart from the turn-key kit, oil cooler, A/T trans cooler and upgrade, what else would you need to have the Stg 1 kit installed on a BONE STOCK 2010 370Z (80% DD, 20% Circuit Track)? I heard that stock exhaust and cats are actually good for the hp, Sam mentioned that it has something to do with some back pressure and it's good for S/C. What about gauges? Are they even required?

The press release is coming soon, I'd want to tell you for sure it's Saturday, but you never know how things go. My car is the first G37 so not a 370Z but similar and it's a 6MT not AT...I have a new clutch, oil cooler, the SC, meth, coilovers, alignment kit, and a new exhaust system fabricated by GTM but using a different axle back. I know several people who have done the same or almost the same thing as me.
You don't NEED an oil cooler or meth, they are just good things to have when you go FI, some would argue the oil cooler is necessary and I wouldn't argue against it, but it's not a NEED. You can get away with just the SC system itself, but when you start spending that kind of money, it seems like such a terrible idea to not spend a little more to play it safe. I live in Texas...so the oil cooler is a bigger deal than for maybe someone who lives in Canada.
As far as gauges are concerned, those are definitely not NEEDS or required. It's more a matter of nice-to-haves. Obviously if you are going to track the car, this kind of information is a little more critical than for most who will just want more power and use it for a daily driver and not a track car at all.
I originally was going to get the Camp II system installed but decided not to and just save the money for something else. I also considered the traction control system from GTM but again...money and need changed my mind.
