Oiling system for big hp applications
What are you guys doing for your big hp engines? I had a ported ls6 oil pump at 682rwhp and when my engine blew, that looked to be the culprit. Now I'm building a 402 LSX shooting for 900rwhp or more and want to make sure this thing will get enough oil. I havn't really seen a lot on here about oiling systems other than upgrading to a ported stock oil pump. Let me know what you use and how it's working for you.

Ruf you were running a stock bottom end right? I think that was the culprit.
But yeah the really fast guys on here run dry sumps, and Mike Brown used to run an accumulator for a season or two. I've recently researched running an external wet sump seems like those are popular too... They are belt driven fwiw.

Either way, with this new build I'm trying to take out all the weak links. I was thinking about going the dry sump route but I'm not sure what's all involved and if it's necessary. I only know how the stock system works so I'm trying to get an idea of what options I have so I can research how they work and decide which I want to go with.
