It would make sense to put the cams while the gaskets are being done, be advised that these cams might require tuning which the dealer might not be able to do.

It would also make sense to do an oil cooler since from factory the over heat the oil. The practice of adding a 34 row is a good one especially if it comes with a thermostatic oil valve. If it gets to the point where oil is just not warming up as fast a simple piece of board blocking some of the rows will do the job. I agree with what was said. Blocking airflow is much easier than having to buy a bigger cooler.

To my understanding all VHR oil pumps are the same including Nismo pump. You'll be fine with a stock pump.

The stock LSD is unreliable at stock power levels, this is a yes.

Overall you're setting the right foundation with the setup for the SC for when that time comes.

I'd suggest you start looking at local tuner shops, especially those that are Ecutek/Uprev savvy. Usually these shops are knowledgeable enough for some of these upgrades and a bit cheaper than dealer prices.
I currently have the Mishimoto 13 row it struggles a bit during hot summer but seems alright in fall. Will the car heat up the engine oil even more once I have headers? I forgot to mention that I have an oversize oil pan.

I agree with the quoted bold statement above. It seems once you are boosted you must have a LSD or it becomes a hazard. Might as well have it anyway.
