Oil pan? For a car 60' in the 1.2-1.3 is the stock oil pan sufficient? I would think the only issue is on the launch if all the oil goes to one end of the pan thats why I only mention the 60'. The car N/a should be 475-550 rwhp, solid roller, nitrous car. 400-500 worth of nitrous. If it is not good enough what do I need?

when the car launches the oil is all going to go to the back where the pickup is which is good...... i think more of the problem is when the car slows down and all the oil goes to the front and cavitates the pump for a second or so..... i'm sure slowing down with a chute makes it even worse....
which is why most canton pans come with trap doors that shut and don't allow oil to all go forward and ultimately cavitating the pump....
oil control on launch i don't see as an issue. I could be wrong but i'm pretty sure it's the opposite which is bad for the motor....

Thats makes since, I would be killing the motor after the run so im not sure if the slowing down would cause too much of an issue. Any other opinions???
