For daily driving, oil cooler hasn't been necessary for me. Keeping in mind i dont live in a super hot climate. I also dont beat the shit out of the car at every stop light or redline it all the time. Monitor oil temps, timing, IAM, coolant, knock etc with the ecutek dongle and app on iphone though the obdlink products work ok too just a bit more finicky with bluetooth.

For reliability i would stick with the stock pulley for sure unless you want to tempt fate even more.

Havent needed any crazy tires or anything, just 225/45/17, PS4S michelins. Traction has been more than enough, at least with the stock header.

A good tuner is a must for smooth driveability as well as reliability.
