ya I have raced the car yet, just street cursing. But I put the improved racing one on my car, I really like it for what it is. I looked at other setups, and this worked best for me. But the other day on YB somone said moroso in coming out with the pan with the stock filter mount. FYI


This thread I did has the install, and lots of pics on info on the imporved racing, and other setups

Do you think the decelerating force (braking) is going to be as great, or greater than the accelerating force of a car pulling 1.3 60's?
I myself, never hammer the brakes right as I cross the line, I'll steadily apply them for 2 seconds, then back off a little and get back on them, but It never throws Me forward nearly as hard as it pushes me back on the launch.
With an auto tranny car, I can somewhat see the concern here. On a stickshift, idk. Most people I see click it to neutral after a run when they slow down. The pan will have significantly more oil in it at idle speed than 6k+

Even if you did lose a little on the decel, I'd rather lose oil pressure at a low rpm rather than at redline......

It's not going to be as dramatic on decel as it is leaving the line, but it's a longer period of time that the oil is being forced forward.....

I'd just put a moroso pan on, and plumb an accusump into the oil filter lines, that's about the best you can do short of a dry sump.

Got any pictures of your pan and filter relocation set-up.

Just watched the video Studderin' posted...
I wonder if it's not the pickup thats coming uncovered as much as it "could be" just the G-force of the launch with the heavy oil in the large tube going to the pump ?
Kind of like the old school fuel pump issues moving gas all the way to the front of the car on launch ???
