Exactly.

Also to answer the next possible question oil aeration is not an issue with 6.5 qts. (see above post)

Yes and No on that one guys. If you have no volume of oil to pump..... the pump will cavitate and you'll have NO FLOW! Pressure is not controlled by the pump. Pressure is created by resistance to flow. Pumps pump oil NOT pressure. Flow makes it go!!Sorry guys hydraulics 101 just had to add that.

My response was to the fact that the extra .2 to .7 quarts of oil "volume" would have no effect on "over-pressurizing" seals and gaskets.
The oil pump moves the oil and the extra volume in the pan does not change the "pressure" of the oil pump.
Changing oil viscosity was never brought up nor was physically running out of oil.

Just out of curiosity at what point does it become an issue? Somewhere before 7 qts?

Is there a reason why no one seems to use the sandwich adapter for the accusump? Is it because you have the SVT oil cooler is there? I was thinking about just putting a sandwich adapter on there and teeing it to a cooler and an accusump.

With the windage tray the oil level would have to rise above the tray. That would take over 7 qts of oil remaining in the pan itself.
The issue would be low rpm and cornering once you started seriously raising the oil level. When the engine is at moderate rpm level or higher the oil pan level is significantly lower then the windage tray. At high rpm it is dangerously bordering on empty if the cold oil level is less then 6 qts.

Exactly correct on why the sandwich adapter is infrequently used. Adding the sandwich adapter with the SVT oil cooler creates space issues for the filter.

Someone along time ago tested this on a dyno. I dont remeber how and i cant remeber who it was. Im sure this is what your refering to. It was years ago. But it was posted.
iirc there was less than .5 quart in the pan at anything above 6k
Thats kinda scary.
