Can be blamed on oil starvation or cavitation. Running 120 MPH plus for several minutes, a few blasts to 130-140, then severe nose over when it spun. Most likely I did not have the oil drain back line at a high enough angle to get the oil back to the pan quick enough from the SC. I had a small oil leak too (drain back connection at the pan), but was still over full (6 quarts) at the time of the failure. Thinking the extra in the SC and return line acted much like the SVT oil cooler in slowing down the return flow. Should have run a little more angle and a little more oil.
Shoulda coulda woulda...
