First off, since the L92 is a truck engine, am I creating a potential problem by swapping to the F-body oil pan? I don't recall the capacity for each pan off the top of my head, but I do recall hearing of drain-back issues with LS-series engines, where high RPMs can pull the pan dry... I'm hoping to occasionally take part in some road-race/open-road events, so this question isn't entirely theoretical.

Second - what is the "typical" oil pressure in a VVT engine? I know that it's considerably higher than in a "normal" engine, but I don't think I've seen a value for it. I've just purchased a mechanical Auto Meter 0-150 psi gauge to monitor it, so I'd like to know the normal range to watch for.

Finally, I've upgraded from the plastic to the copper line for that gauge - anyone happen to know the burst rating for that line? I would think that Auto Meter wouldn't offer a mechanical gauge unless the feed line to it was able to handle the full rated pressure of the gauge, but hell, I've been wrong before...
