Then again, I haven't driven it in the summer. I said if I ever see constant 220+ then I will get an oil cooler asap, but as of right now, I'm okay.
Why not send it to FI? Because I don't think that they do Automatic Transmission upgrades..?
A big part of my build is basing it off of Evan's (StillenZ84 user on here) build.
He got the level 10 transmission in his car, and he also drives 7 AT just like I do.
So that is also another reason why I decided to base my build off of his.
Unless FI does Automatic Transmission upgrades for 370zs? I don't know about it haha.
I'm getting my car tuned by someone else. I trust him and although I know seb is the man to go to for 370z tunes, I want to give this person I have been talking to for a while now a try.
I don't doubt his work at all, I know it is superb, but that does not mean I can't find a close or equally close tuner xD Plus the tuner I am talking to is close to me which helps!
I'm also not going to send my vehicle to Level10, I will buy their transmission package and they will send it to my aftermarket mechanic shop I am currently working with to install it.

Just trying to help you out from as I've learned from my mistakes and few friend's mistakes on their 370Z builds.
I also wanted to give a chance to this new tuner in my area only to be out of $1000 and having a shitty tune that might of ultimately killed my engine.
My friend had his Level 10 transmission fail at just over 500whp and less than a month of driving.. They also recommended no transmission cooler as their trans is "bulletproof" and here he is without a driving car.
Fast intentions does build transmissions and their reputation proceeds them.

I've learned that cutting corners will cost you way more in the long run. Just do it right the first time with the right shop and you will be better off in the long run
