Lightbulb Canton's New LS1 Drag Pan on GP Now

We are offering Canton's New LS1 Drag Pan on Group Purchase. Here is some information on there new pan for those whom are interested:

Aluminum drag race pan designed for 1998 and up F-Body chassis. Fully fabricated aluminum construction is significantly lighter than cast pan designs. Full road race style trap door baffling for oil control. Works with OEM windage trays. Requires remote oil filter adapter that is included. Works with stock pickup.

We tested this on several heads/cam vehicles along with our 427CI drag race engine. We found significate increase in oil pressure which allows for better oiling. We highly recommend this pan as it has been proven to make a hugh difference.

Retail Price: $575.00
GP Price: $475.00

Shipping is determine upon where you are located. We have several in stock ready to ship. No minimum purchase to get this deal. Please email us for more information.

How does a different oil pan increase oil pressure?

How much lighter is it vs stock?

The difference on a 427CI was 42 PSI and on a heads/Cam was about 27 PSI. We did determine that was the difference between eating bearings and haveing a healty engine. It is about 7lbs difference. It also holds 6.5 qts of oil instead of 5 like the stock one.

Any concerns with the integrity of the block, since the factory LS1 pan is considered a structural member?

We were having a problem with only 12PSI. We did determine that the pan along with relocating the lines had alot to do with it. We now have between 50-62PSI at all times. We did question Canton about the integrity and they reassured us that it was as durable if not better than stock. As it is know, some people will tell you what you want to here. As of right now, none of the pans we have put on have had problems. When we mention that huge additional PSI, remember that we were having problems before and the pan could have not been the whole contributor. The pan did help. It has alot better oil control. It holds the oil around the pickup better than the stock.

Any disadvantage to running this on a daily driver?

in some ford mag's, they say adding an oil pan (Canton , moroso,...) will increase HP by 30 and increase oil control.. is that true, and how is the leaking on these pans

It's probably b/c it's a Ford. They need all the help they can get

I dunno how they get 30HP out of it but they may. I'm not familiar with it.

you can gain power with a properly setup windage tray on most engines, but the LS1 already comes with that from the factory. No gains in power from an oil pan itself lol.

I'm guessing that a big piece of that 42 PSI gain for the 427CI maybe a problem with the original oil pan gasket actually. I've been trying to hunt down the same 30PSI drop in oil pressure that you saw in your 427CI for a few months with my 422.

All the usual suspects including the preasure sensor and pump have been replaced. That leaves a drill and plug of the oil filter bypass path which is there to proctect against a clogged filter or replace the oil pan gasket.

I haven't looked at the pan gasket, but I'm assuming that the bolt eyes or preasure relief eyes could separate from the gasket material enough to allow preasure to escape even though the clamping of the pan is tight enough not to loose oil.

I don't intend this post to make it sound like the pan isn't helping but I wanted to offer some clarity on the gains of +30 PSI vs, the likely gain of +5-10PSI from better oil control. I'll let you know what happens when I replace the oil pan gasket in my next step to hung this thing down.

It's a oil pan,let's remember that. They do not increase oil pressure unless there was something wrong with the pan that was on there before. So if you guy's are looking to fix your low oil pressure problems this thread might make you think that buying this pan will do it. Well it probably won't, just keep this in mind.

They are very nice pans and this is a good price for them.
