What cooling mods do I need to survive a Phoenix summer?

Moving to N Scottsdale and need some advice if I need some cooling mods (radiator, oil cooler, stick on heat from for the intake) it I'm going to auto x, track every once in a while? Mostly talking about the summer.

Thanks,
Steve

Drive it for a while and see what you need. At most an oil cooler if you're going to track it a lot, but I don't think you'll need anything else

My opinion...

I had installed a heavy duty radiator, Oil Cooler, intercooler for my S/C, and ventilated hood on mine. If you plan to track your car in the AZ heat, I recommend doing anything you can afford to control the heat.
