Default Vortech Air Assist

Hey im just started mounting my T Trim and the oil feed is roughly 4 o'clock position.Will I need to buy a air assist to help spraying the oil or will just the oil pressure be adequate?
Thanks

I realise most vortechs dont need the assist bit the oil feed spraying uphill was a little concern hense the question.

Mine's probably around 4 oclock too. Been like that for 7 years and no oil related issues.

You have ample oil pressure there to feed the gears. Not actually sure what the point of the air assist is.
Seems it's more to create a spray of oil, rather than just a jet between the gears themselves.
So is maybe more aimed at providing more oil to the bearings or something.

Yeah air assist only uses a portion of boost to help mist or spray the oil.Like most people dont even have it.I just saved $300 .
Cheers
