Default Need recommendations for cooling system and HP ugrades

I really need some help here guys.....I am running a Jim Wolf twin turbo setup on my 350z on a stock motor. I really need some help determining two things....

1) I am looking to get some gains in HP while still retaining the stock motor. I'm thinking about getting a UTEC system for now but do you guys have any other recommendations. I thought of installing a plenum spacer but I have heard mixed reviews about them (some people claim that it doesn't give you much gain when you're already running high HP applications and sometimes it can even lead to boost leak). Also does the heatshield on the popcharger make a difference at all in terms of HP? Any other suggestions?

2) What do you guys recommend for cooling....I find that my car both inside and under the hood gets extremely hot and I am looking to get some kind of cooling upgrade that will help retain HP and keep up the life of my engine. What do you recommend? Would really appreciate your help. Thanks.

honestly this is what you need to do. if you are running the car hard, keep the air off.

second of all run a 50/50 mix on the coolant to water ratio.

switch to some of sharifs or GTM fan shrouds, these things honestly work wonders!!

the rear coolant bypass mod doesnt really make a difference on my findings on my dyno.

run a koyo up in front to help out with everything as well.

1) Koyo Slim rad (since you have the JWT...and the large Koyo requires a fair amount of mods to fit)
2) Twin Fans
3) Shroud
4) Rear Coolant bypass mod works....especially when the engine is under sustained loads. You might not notice a huge difference when making some dyno pulls, however.

This package forever will put an end to overheating.

Call us if you need anything.

I usually throw a bag of ice on my plenum, works wonders.

I thought the thermostat was a waste of money.
