Accusump, if you have the money. I have great confidence with 9 quarts of oil. My oil pressure gauge never drops below 15 psi on hard cornering. Canton Racing is a great bunch of guys, and they will help you in any way with the install of the unit. Helped me fix some installation problems...


When you go into a right hand turn and oil starvation/aeration occurs how do you know that there is a pressure drop? They only reason I ask is because that is how the accusump works and I beleive when people spin thier bearings there is NO pressure drop.

Well, after taking a few hard turns, both right and left, with my g/f in the car, she could tell if the pressure dropped a little. The left handed turns, the oil pressure was pretty much a solid 40 psi. But, under a hard and prolonged right hand turn, the pressure dropped to about 15ish, maybe a closer to 20ish and then it started rise on up as the Accumsump delievered its load. Once out of the turn, the pressure went back up to high 50s, low 60s, then dropped back to normal, as the Accusump took back its oil. It works, believe me.

That's aweseome info!

I think it's the first definitive proof with actual numbers that right hand sweepers will lower your oil pressure to dangerous levels. Even if it never gets low enough to trip the oil light, you've got to cringe when you think about spinning an engine at 6k+ rpm's with 15psi or less of oil pressure.
