Mods To Protect Your Modded Engine....

what mods should there and what should you do to keep your modded engine safe/reliable?:-

a regular oilservice/belt change at appropriate intervals
tensioner limit stop - lohen, gtt, etc
gtt tensioner pulley
setting a safe rev limit? <7250??
?decent radiator ?go aftermarket?-notice minimaniuk are advertising one
?aftermarket header tank,silicone hosing
?a more robust oil pump? is there an aftermarket kit out there?
uprated injectors

anyone agree/disagree/have further suggestions? i'm a mini newbie so go easy on me! i've seen some heated threads on here!
lets say we're talking about your average modded cooper with a 15% sc pulley, a 2% crank pulley, an uprated intercooler, a cylinder head and a remap. (which is what i have except the crank pulley)
