Oil cooler comment, I ran without one in a Texas summer (while GTM finished a few items on the original stage 1 SC) and only got into the 240 a few times. Now on that, you said you will be shifting at 4-4.5k you will still hit boost. With either SC kit on the market, boost starts around 3k, depending on how much you push the fun pedal. IF you truly baby it you can get up to just under 4k without really getting into boost but you get into 30% load or more you will see boost early on.
Also, from driving a nice hot summer without an oil cooler, driving does not cause problems it is stopping or traffic. If you plan to drive this in stop n go traffic for more than 20-30 minutes (is this your daily?), then invest in the oil cooler.
