First thing, change out the brake pads for something with a higher temperature rating. You may also want to run some brake cooling ducts similar to the ones on the Gazoo Racing car.
No factory Subaru engines are dry sumped, and the H4 configuration is prone to have oil pool in the heads during long high g corners. So oil starvation is a legitimate concern. Baffling the oil pan is a good investment, but whether or not the pan is baffled make sure the oil level is at 'full' before you go out on track.
Get the gauges and do a trackday before you go adding oil/trans coolers. See if you even need them first.
