What information do you have on the LS2 pan being better for road racing?
I am building a LS6 motor for a C5 road race car and I was just looking at Accusump systems tonight. I don't really want to add the extra weight and a check valve etc. If a LS2 pan is better, that may do the job.
That's a great picture of your car Speedpup. I have only had my C5 on the track two weekends with the LS1 motor so I really don't know what kind of oiling problems I am going to have. Do you have any oil pressure drop off while racing??

I have an accusump I already smoked a motor. tranny, and rear in one horrible event. I have seen it drop. Tranny and diff coolers also. Info was in a GM article but someone said it holds 1 qt less now.

The LS2 oil pan holds less because of the better baffles in the pan. Yes it will fit on the motor but I don't know if it will fit in the car! Also remember the LS2 is a dry sump system so you might have some problems trying to get your oil pickup to work right if at all!
