5at trans upgrade

hi there, noob queston i've heard our trans for the 5at cna only handle up to 400hp... i was thinking about doing some upgrades but i have a few questions.

valve body: does anyone have the nismo VB or should i be looking else where for a valve body? I heard the stillen isn't very good so just wondering what other people have done.

4.083 FD gears (which lsd would work with this 3.5? 3.3? 3.9?)

trans cooler (any suggestions here)

my goal is a 400whp N/A g35 but i want my trans to be perfect before i start getting sleeves, heads, header etc etc etc

Tru cool #4590 for the cooler. It's the biggest that will fit!
