The included cooling isn't good enough so the Frozenboost heat exchanger is recommended. However, using this will not work with the existing tow hook and will also some troubles fitting with tanny/oil coolers which might make this not as good at cooling.

Yep that about sums it up but like I said if you don't track the car you probably will not have problems with the radiator cooling. It took me over a year to get the cooling right on the track but had no problem on the street. I also tracked my car many times with the cooler Stillen sends with the kit without any trouble.

Okay, so the main concern is the tow hook. Also, to clarify, the general consensus is that the 9lb pulley is pretty safe as long as you don't do the impeller along with it right?

my friend, not a Z owner, but a general car guy, says that if I upgrade the pulley, I will probably need to upgrade fuel which would mean a fuel pressure regulator which would be a big smog red flag ( i know any upgrades will technically void CARB, but was hoping things would be undercover enough to still pass) Any one know anything about this? I was under the impression that the 9lb pulley could be used without any other changes (except the heat exchanger).

Upgrading fuel, assuming there's no more head room on the system that comes with the kit, would require injector and fuel pump upgrade. Both items are internal and not visible.

Would I be able to keep the tow hook with the frozen-boost heat exchanger if I got a fast intentions crash bar?

I flipped my crash bar, so the tow hook is not useable anymore.
but when I had my car towed on a flat bed, we hooked 2 straps up to the lower control arms, and pulled it up.

I'll probably spring for the FI crash bar. But it's a general consensus that the kit is pretty safe with the 9lb pulley if that's the only upgrade you do? Or should I really stick to the 8lb one that comes with it?

Okay, so if I want to be safe, stick tot he 8lb pulley. Is the stock cooling really terrible and useless even if the kit is kept completely stock? (with a custom tune of course). Just want to confirm that even running the stock pulleys and everything, I should still get the frozen boost heat exchanger. I just do normal spirited driving and possibly the occasional novice track day.

I ran the kit stock for over a year and the only problem on the street was high oil/water temps in the heat of summer and even then the only times it got out of control was when the car was running and sitting in traffic. The track is a different story, it has taken 1 1/2 years to get all of the cooling under control. It only took adding a vented hood, oil cooler, 7AT cooler, frozen boost cooler, CSF triple pass radiator(not really for the 7AT but I used it anyway), Stillen front bumper, deleting the windshield washer fluid tank, adding fans, venting the wheel well liners and lots of moving parts around.

Thanks, I'll read up on it. I am just checking if I need the Frozenboost or not since I would do the FI crash bar if I did to retain the tow hook. That's all extra cost that I will do if I need to, but if I don't...
