Default GTM SC build supporting mod requirements

In the home stretch but I'm looking for what other *required* supporting mods I will need to make this work. Would rather drop mods into two categories: 1) "It'd be nice if" and 2) "Required"

So far in terms of supporting mods:
-upgraded injectors
-upgraded fuel pump


What about:
-new gauges?
-oil cooler? Necessary or no?
-clutch upgrade?

What else?

Oil cooler+pan spacer(Required)
Full flywheel, clutch, csc(would be excellent but isn't required...right away) Make sure it is your next upgrade purchase.
Pistons, Rods, studs for longer term reliability.

Stillen oil cooler? Do they sell pan spacer/cooler combos?

My CSC was just replaced and swapped the clutch line for braided stainless with motul fluid. Hoping I can get by with that setup for a bit before I have to do the full clutch upgrade thing.

I'm a huge fan of my Z1 34 row oil cooler with thermostatic coupler! It works great on the street and track.

Also Khoi or someone - please explain the pulley size thing because we don't get it. I have to select a pulley size and I have no idea what the size difference does.

I believe different sizes are for amount of boost you're running, smaller sizes = more boost. Difference between if you want to run 8-12psi.

Smaller size, larger ratio, more revs in the charger for each rev on the crank equals more lbs of boost. I'm no expert but I think it's difficult to know unless you have figures on how many lbs the charger makes for a single revolution. Does GTM have this information?

Edit: 'Single' was the wrong word here... but I can't think of the right one...

I'm going to go with Cody's suggestion and "tell GTM I want to make between 500-550whp" and see what they suggest.

on another note, we are doing 15% off our MSRP/retail price for Memorial Day weekend sale.

Cody, I know you were interested in an oil pan too. It would be a good time to purchase one this weekend

I'll have details shortly

edit: confusion, it is 15% off MSRP not the sale price

Oh I'm involved but if Cody doesn't get it, there's zero chance I will. I'm a big fan of "defer to the expert" when it comes to things that can/will blow up my car if I do it wrong.
