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.



IIRC, it was Roush Racing- when they were testing the Duratec for possible future applications.

Also IIRC, Saleen pulled out on their Contour project because they kept on blowing up motors.

You'd probably have to check the archives to get the original threads.
