the absence of an oil cooler hasn't been an issue for me and never had fuel starvation leading to power loss and ive pushed it pretty hard on 1/4 of a tank.

tune seems awesome to me... no hick ups and smooth power band.. my wrx would misfire all the time. threw its first code at 26 miles on the odometer

everything else seems great to me also. best bang for the buck in my opinion. but then again i bought mine used with 22000 miles lol

Well, my experience has been a bit different from that.

I get fuel starve at over half a tank every time I hit the track (if I don't constantly top off.). That experience makes me very conservative turning long right hand on ramps.

I run with some stock 370s at the track and they get 3-4 laps tops in summer conditions before the over temp their oil and have to pit for an hour or so to cool. My 25 row cooler keeps me at about 240 when pushing hard. (Not too bad))

I wear earplugs when DDing my Z because I don't want to go deaf. (I flew helicopters for the USMC, so I know dangerous noise levels when I experience them). If the Z were a commercial vehicle, OSHA would definitely require hearing protection. This is no big deal really, but I don't really bring many passengers in the Z due to limited ability to talk. Actually I should bring the wife in the Z more. It would probably enhance the experience!
