oil pan for road course setup
I need info from the road warriors here. When my new motor goes in i need an oil system that will keep the motor lubed at 1.4g snd up. Some pretty long sweeping turns that will be at 1g plus for 20 to 30 seconds. I have Bridgestone RE-11s on a full Pedders Justice road course setup and soon to be Pedders upgraded ZL1 rear sway bars. Of course the most aggressive alignment with my setup.
I will be turning about 750 to 800 rwhp initially and plan on mainly a street machine with monthly track duty on a 2.5 mile road course. Will see the 1320' occasionally but my goal is a great road course/street car. What oil setups are you guys that run the road course using. Not looking to go dry sump but maybe upgraded pan, accusump, baffle insert, oil coolder etc. Thanks

Thanks. I may just try a 3 qt accusump. eagles canyon does not seem to have real long sweeping corners. I may also add this to the stock oil pan
http://www.improvedracing.com/oil-pa...74c0e1718b3258 IN addition to a real efficient oil cooler. dont want to take any chances on my new motor.

I am in the process of doing an engine build for track and street. Going with an LS3 418 set up for a broad torque band versus a 7000 rpm screamer. This way I can spend more track time running back and forth in just 3rd and 4th gears.
Anyway, I have been reading everything I can on the net about LS engines and the failures they see during extended time on the track. I have decided that I'm not spending the money I am on the engine build to have it possibly fail on my fourth lap around the track. The "consensus" from the Camaro and Corvette serious road racers is that anything short of a dry sump is a bandaid and failure is just a mater of time. So for myself the decision boils down to either a simple scavenger type dry sump system or a complete three stage system.

All good questions. Like I said in the other thread, I'm interested to hear what you decide to do.
