- oil cooler
- bigger radiator
- 2.87 pulley (revup bracket comes with 3.12 pulley stock (85% sure of this) so discuss the extra boost with your tuner)
- HPX MAF (maybe. i'm not familiar with how the utec will manage your fuel, but if it relies on the stock MAF you're gonna max out the voltage...especially with the smaller pulley)

i'm not sure why people are having such a hard time with cooling issues.
the SSV intake isn't needed so save your cash.
i'd get a return fuel system from CJM though. It's not required but it'll make it a lot nicer on your fuel system and tuning.

^ i saw as high as 230F on hot days out here in cali. that was enough to convince me an oil cooler was a good idea. even with my cooler, I hit +200 when driving in 100F weather on my way to vegas. i don't even want to think what the temps would have been without the cooler.
i thought all '05+ 6MTs were revup. or is that just G35s?

overpriced?
basic kit:
cjm: 425$
aam: 549$
stage 1
cjm: 945
aam: 899 (couldn't find a good supplier for stage 1)
stage 2
cjm: 1125
aam: 1195
stage 3
cjm: ~2400. dual intank walbros
aam: 2299. normal intank with external surge tank
Aam's return correction doesn't work as well and their stage 3 with an external pump and surge tank is junk. many welding mods and routing changes needed to get it to work properly.
so for better customer service and higher quality parts (and also cheaper on some kits) i would definitely use cjm. CJM also has coated stainless lines (that are teflon on the inside so can be used with e85). The outside coating keeps the braiding from destroying your car or eating a hole into a wiring harness. The stage 2 8an line is also heat coated where it passes near the exhaust.
also, for a vortech kit the OP doesn't need anymore than a stage 0. I put down 451 dd (507dj) with a stage 0 on my car at 14psi and built engine.
i forgot to mention if you ever wanted to upgrade charles will only charge you for the parts you need to upgrade. With aam they don't give a crap about you and you have to purchase a whole new kit in order to upgrade.

You should have no problem achieving your goal. I 've been using the AAM STG 1 for 5 years without any issues. CJM set up is nice but the hoses and fittings are not the same quality as the older AAM. Not sure the quality of parts AAM currently using for the STG 1 so can't objectively compare to CJM.
