External Wet sump For Road Course Racing So currently building a dedicated serious road race car and was wondering if anyone used the Aviaid External Wet Sump oil pump setup. Looks like it might work well for my application but curious if it will hold up in 1.5+ g environment. The accusump's worry me due to reliability and I like the idea of freeing up some power. Also wondering the effectiveness of the scavenge pumps they sell (the LS "A" and LS "E" kits).

If I was worried about cost then I would go accusump. But I am not so I would rather do something that is better and need help figuring out which configuration to do.

let's refocus. I do not want to discuss an accusump. I want to discuss the options I listed in the original post.
Starting to wonder if the reason no one wants to talk about them is because no one knows anything about them.
Worst case scenario I might just wait and then do the 3 port one. I know that it is proven to work (GTLM uses them)

for information on why I would NOT like to run an accusump see here. The engine being used will be spinning 7600 rpm during a road course event plus seeing very high g loads. This is NOT a street car that see's some track time but a dedicated road course car. Goal weight is 2700-2800 pounds no driver with 650 hp with either 315 or 325 hoosier a6 on a full track coilover suspension with larger sway bars

If you want to spin that kind of rpm on a road course, you’re a fool for considering any type of wet sump. Even those 2 stage scavenge kits are junk for what you plan on doing, and GTLM certainly does not use them (its complete advertising BS, I’ve had detailed looks at those cars). Call Dailey engineering and get one of their billet dry sump systems, and prepare to spend some money. Turning big RPM on a dedicated rod race LS motor isn’t cheap.
