It all really comes down to the track, temp of the day, and how you drive.
It's always better to be safe rather than sorry, so I would install the cooler for certain, no reason not to.
It would really suck to spend the money on the track day, spend all that time getting out there only to run a few laps, hit limp mode and be done for the day.
also, most of our customers who track occasionally do an oil change before and after the track, due to the oil temp issue, again, for no reason other than to be safer.
I would also highly recomend running stainless steel brake lines for more consistant performance, higher fluid, such as motul RBF600, and better brake pads than the oem. If you do this you should 1) extend the life of the brakes on the track (depending on how you drive of course), and 2) gain a more consistant feel throughout the day for better lap times etc...
